Found this large tree washed up on beach covered in Goose barnacles, proof the gulf stream still reaches the north of Scotland
Lat/Lng: 58.47, -5.10
OS grid ref: NC1958
No interactions present.
The original species cited (Pollicipes polymerus) is from the Pacific Ocean and has a more jagged appearance than Lepas due to a larger number of plates making up the "shell".
