Samudra, the Sea Serpent

Samudra, the Sea Serpent
Samudra the plastic-eating sea serpent is easily spotted on the seafront at Exmouth, Devon, and is feeling hungry!

Samudra particularly enjoys empty plastic bottles and single-use cups.

Her last few meals had recently been taken away by the council (which is why she is hungry again)!

Better viewed large I think. Thank you.

A similar means of recycling can be seen around Portsmouth: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/49238884

Glad you like it Peter. I was told that this had been around for a couple of year............but it gets moved around a bit, which explains why this was the first time I noticed it, as I only visit Exmouth a few times a year.

I hope you've had a good weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead.

Yes, I agree.............and apparently it gets filled up and needs emptying every two days or so. Glad you like the Sea Serpent and the view! Thank you so much for your lovely comments Tanja.
