Another very warm, sunny day with a flat sea...
It is two hours after low tide and there are still vast expanses of sand.
There are new lumps of paraffin wax (a waste product or spillage from shipping) - a pernicious pollutant which is also hazardous to wildlife as birds and other animals feed on it. At the beginning of the year, the whole tideline was a sea of paraffin wax for several miles along this stretch of coast - it took many months to disperse (or perhaps melt?).
But today I carry home only a light bag of rubbish.
low tide: 11.48 hrs 1.1m; high tide 18.46 hrs 2.4m
time of arrival: 14.07 hrs
weather: sunny, wind W 13mph, temperature 18cmarine litter: balloons, sanitary towels and quite a few sweet/snack wrappers left directly by visitors to the beach. Lumps of paraffin wax.
