With ground nesting birds in abundance, it's important to keep our dogs on leads when out for a walk. As the poet Emily Dickinson put it:
I started Early – Took my Dog –
And visited the Sea –
I started Early – Took my Dog –
And visited the Sea –

We finally had a break from the rain for our beach clean on Wednesday! After the recent stormy weather, we found lots of tiny pieces of plastic and rope buried in the seaweed 🌊

A beautiful morning at the Sand Dunes with David Jacob (NPWS) 😊
We reviewed completed fencing and planned where further work is needed to protect against erosion from the sea and weather 🌊
We also highlighted areas where a small minority trample or slide down the dunes and destabilise them 🙁

The backstrand is home to beautiful Brent geese which can be seen feeding in this photo 🪿 Please keep dogs on the lead in this area so the geese can feed in peace 🐕🦺🦮 While dogs may not mean to harm the birds, they run around and scare them away 😕
