It's around low tide as I arrive and wide expanses of sand are exposed. The seascape has a haunting beauty. I find a huge flint, split in two, lying on the shingle. Stormy seas have bent and buried part of the barricade and signs, and there are fresh earthy cliff falls on the beach and clods of clifftop grass.
There is not much rubbish though I find a couple of good wildlife traps. These will be useful as most of my collection is currently on display in Spain. Of the three identifiable pieces of rubbish, two are foreign (French and Belgian) - moreorless par for the course at this time of year.
A dogfish lies washed up at the top of the beach where the footpath meets the shingle.
