| The Yacht Club just before sunrise |
 |
| Groyne four...again, just before sunrise. |
 |
| Hey ho, hey ho...it's off to work we go! |
 |
| Just as the sun rises |
 |
| ...off to collect more shingle! |
 |
| Even the 'poor' tree is on its way again! |
This is a blog recording various happenings on Pagham Beach in West Sussex on the south coast of the U.K. Although only set up in January 2014 previous mentions of the beach can be found on my paghambirder blog which is devoted to my lifelong hobby of birding but focused on sightings in and around Pagham Harbour.

Another early start.

At first light this morning.
 |
| A very short window of opportunity at sunrise... |
 |
| ...to gather more shingle under a threatening sky.. |
 |
| Even the concrete block and the seats in front of the Yacht Club are now 'on their way' |

Another high tide!
This is getting serious!......
 | |
| Compare to yesterdays photo at low tide. |
 |
| This is not good! |
 |
| It cannot get much closer to the properties...until disaster strikes. |

Another tense night!
 |
| A Dramatic Sky over the beach this afterrnoon. |
Low tide this afternoon showed the results of their endeavours...
High tides continue for a few days.

Early morning on the beach...

 |
| One man and his dog....enjoying the peace of an early morning walk. |
 |
| Reflections...Little Lagoon |
A few low angle shots along the way.
 |
| Teazles. |
 |
| A really cracking morning! |

More media attention.
The rocks continue to be shifted from the beach near the yacht club
taken over the shingle ramps...
to the fourth groyne...
and placed in position.
BBC tv covered this for their midday and evening news.
In the evening broadcast Dr Simon Boxall of Southampton University said that sometimes we have to say 'enoughs enough' and let nature take its course. That comment was somewhat unsettling to say the least!
Lets hope the meeting due to take place in London with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) tomorrow to discuss the erosion problems at Pagham will produce a plan for a permanent solution rather than saying 'enoughs enough'
