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.

Pagham Air Show!
Both Bournemouth and Shoreham had air shows today and although the Canadian Lancaster was grounded we did enjoy a flypast of the Flying Fortress and distant views of the Vulcan from the beach!
The Flying Fortress, Sally B as featured in the film "Memphis belle"...in close up.

Latest photos of current work.
For the past few days the diggers have been digging....again! Shingle is being replaced in front of the most vulnerable properties....again! The tree that was washed away from its original position and has been dead for weeks, has now been placed carefully above the tide line.

Hurricane Bertha Hits the Beach
Well, not quite, but the tail end of Bertha resulted in a stormy morning......
No worries...Arun District Council were on the scene in late afternoon and soon had the matter under control...and the fence was in position again albeit just a little nearer the bungalows!

| Looking towards Bognor at high tide. |
 |
| Looking towards the spit. |
 |
| If the wind had been in a different direction the fencing might have been lost! |
 |
| Flattened! |
