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.

Spring Tides again.

Early morning update on beach erosion.
I was concerned about the future of the tree near the Fourth Groyne and whilst attempts were made to save it, unfortunately it recently went 'over the edge'....lost for ever.

Sunrise on Pagham Beach.
An impressive sun rise!

At last!
A protective fence being erected along the length of the beach from the revetment to the posts at the end of the run. It is not 'pretty' but it is blue and fairly inconspicuous against the incoming water.
During the week a number of children have being getting dangerously close to the cliff especially at high tide...and hopefully it will prevent visitors from seeing how much shingle they can kick over the edge with their feet....we have got pretty little remaining so hopefully this will prevent too much more being wilfully destroyed.

High tides.
With the high Spring tides of the past few days more shingle has disappeared and the tree by the fourth Groyne has just about 'had it'!...a great shame.
and another high tide comes rolling in..........
...with considerable force!
