We can only speculate as to what happened here on December 20, but it looks like some unlucky bird wasn’t fast enough to escape the jaws of this slimy beast.

This season yielded a healthy crop of peels. They thrive in the fall months because they can blend in with the leaves and banana slugs on the ground. Keep your eyes peeled, lest you slip and fall!
Watchoutbanapeel originated in London, where banana peels seemed to sprout directly from the sidewalk like weeds, despite the desperate efforts of street sweepers to pluck them with their long tongs. Here in Edinburgh, the peel patrol is better able to deal with the pests, but they still pop up in some very adventurous places!

Spotted this cleanly sliced peel on the hike up to Arthur’s Seat. What happened to the other half? Watchout!

And to top it all off, as if it’s not hazardous enough at the top of the Salisbury Crags, with the merciless Scottish wind, somebody left THIS at the very top of Arthur’s Seat!
