Although we are in a period of neap tides the landscape/seascape changes with every tide....the spit grows evermore and the off-shore spits too, are changing the outflow from the harbour. Each day we see a difference.

Work continues moving shingle to the eastern side of the groyne to prevent further short term erosion until the rocks from the ends of the existing rock groynes are used to assist this process....later this week.

Unusually high numbers of Gulls have been feeding off the spit at high tide and it seems there has been a veritable feast of marine fodder for them.....starfish, molluscs and many of these sea urchins.
