It is Bank Holiday Monday and after the dismal weather of the weekend and a less than encouraging forecast, we wake up to sunshine! There is a chilly wind but the sun transforms the beach. There are lots of kites, many dogwalkers and two girls even attempt to swim. Sandmartins swoop frenetically by the cliffs.
It is a building tide with all the usual kinds of rubbish on the beach but a notable number of plastic bottles, sanitary towels and balloons. Regrettably, I could have filled my two carrier bags several times over...
Bizarrely, we find a fat dead adder at the high tide line at Thorpeness - presumably drowned in the previous week's big seas...?
high tide: 11.25 hrs 2.9m, low tide: 17.31 hrs 0.2m
time of arrival: 11.50 hrs
weather: sunshine, wind SE 14 mph, temperature 12c
marine litter: many plastic bottles, sanitary towels and balloons
