Tess and I combined a beach walk at Prinsted with a litter pick. As on previous occasions, I found countless tiny pieces of coloured plastic that had been washed up with a high tide. Some could be identified as plastic cotton-bud wands or bottle caps, others were tiny and unidentifiable.

I could have stayed for hours picking out the microplastics from the pebbles, but Tess got restless!

Three 'thank-you's from other walkers made it worthwhile!
