And this is a method of seed dispersal. So in those pods are loads of seeds. And then when they stick to the bird's feathers, you can be the bird. They'll fly away, carry it with them. They'll drop off and disperse somewhere else. Oh, that's so cool. This type of seed dispersal is helping plants recolonize Inchkeith, and they're not alone.
