| Whitelinks beach, particularly towards the Kittyloch, has been invaded by hundreds of hedgehog like accumulations of what appears to be mainly marram grass roots mixed with other fibrous matter including plastic and feathers. These objects vary in size from tennis ball to melon. |
 |
| I think occasional ones have appeared here and a Fraserburgh in the past, but the uniformity of the balls and the sheer quantity is quite extraordinary. Definitely not animal in origin, Rufus was not interested in sniffing or rolling, the pungently dead seal was of more interest to him! |
 |
| Presumably they are formed by vegetation beginning to accumulate and being rolled back and forth by the tide. Any more specific information about their origin and forming would be appreciated. Do they have a name? |
