Images taken at low tide mark in stream east of Newlyn Harbour, Newlyn, Cornwall. 02.08.11.

What we see here certainly confused the author of this site; but the images are indeed of Swan Droppings. Swans live on the coast as well as around inland lakes and ponds, and there are many swans around Newlyn. It would seem that marine algae such as Sea Lettuce and Gut Weed are quite difficult for a swan to digest.
