A migrating “duck” has caused concerns amongst an Ullapool environmental group.
The Ullapool Sea Savers found out about a half-full Duck cleaning fluid bottle that washed up on a beach near Bergen, Norway.
They have assumed it has come all the way from Scotland, but it is definitely of British origin due to lettering on the bottle.
It was found by a friend of the group and Norwegian documentary maker Kenneth Bruvik, who thinks the discovery of the bottle can become a symbol for the need to stop plastic pollution now.

AN injured squirrel which touched the hearts of thousands of people across the country after being taken in and looked after following a bruising encounter with a vehicle on the A835 outside Ullapool is to have a lasting legacy.
Ted was cared for by local activist Noel Hawkins who has previously worked with Ullapool Sea Savers on a range of environmental projects â including a bid to get drivers to slow down at a point where squirrels forage for food and cross the road.
