Wow we had a great crazy collection of finds this morning as we joined the Chessel Bay Spring litter pick organised by Hawthorns Wildlife Centre and the local rangers. They arrange two litter picks a year so we don't disturb the wildlife especially the wading birds who use the mud flats as a valuable food source during the winter. Chris, Sarah, Stephanie and Lauren were soon joined by Wilson, Kathryn and her daughter. Sad to see how much waste is either washed up or thrown away by the local litter louts. Some fantastic finds: Chris's children's cycle helmet modelled by our resident Can Queen; Lauren ; Sarah's great shoe collection; Kathryn's daughter had a wonderful haul of dog toys and Wilson's fabulous flat cap find. Plenty of polystyrene nurdle nodules for Stephanie to obsess over. A lovely couple of hours in the surprisingly warm March sunshine. Many hands make light work.
