A note from Val on the plants - from left to right - sea purslane, sea lavender and marsh samphire. |

The channels in the salt marsh, connected to the sea, empty as the tide goes out ..... |
|
|
|
... until they are empty. |
|
|
|
Other depressions, however, remain full of seawater from the previous high tide. |

The point where the salt marsh ends and the extensive sands take over; I presumed the pipe (broken in one place) to be a sewerage outfall? |
