Masses of these on the incoming tide this day, from Himatangi Beach to Foxton Beach - thousands. A feeding frenzy by gulls, oystercatchers, terns and godwits much of the length of the beach. No more sign of them by Dec. 30. Some days later, the floats are washing back in again, the shore is dotted with them, 4th photo.

These plasticky looking bits have been common in the dunes in the past week. Today the light dawned - ref. the 2nd and 3rd photos - the remains of the influx of buoy barnacles which hit this beach Dec. 28 en masse. The story starts at observation #4869053
