sealord > The litter items in this image were collected from the small pebble beach by La Valette bathing pools on the morning of Sunday 21 June 2009 before people arrived on the beach. Some of the broken cans had clearly been on the shore or in the sea for sometime. Someone had thrown glass bottles onto the beach where they smashed. This amount of litter represents a significant reduction in litter compared to the collection on 1 June. This reduction may be the result of the BBC's Beach Watch campaign at the beginning of the month. File No. 210609 5717 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > My wife and I collected all the litter we could find on the pebble beach at La Valette on the morning of 21 June 2009 (previous image). We returned that evening at dusk to find this litter on the shore. This image shows the litter left on the shore by La Valette bathing pools during a 12 hour period. One party of people had left twelve Robinson's Fruit shoot plastic bottles in one location on the shore. The remaining amount of litter is minor but because most of this litter is not biodegradable it will accumulate on the beach and possibly impact wildlife and present an aesthetic nuisance to tourists and residents. The plastic bottles and aluminium cans can be recycled. This litter was photographed the following morning on 22 June 2009. File No. 220609 5823 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > House centipedes, Scutigera coleoptrata, can be found running in and out of the pebble beach by the bathing pools at La Valette. They run very fast and are difficult to photograph. This specimen was on the concrete steps leading up from the beach. It froze long enough that I could photograph it. This specimen was photographed on the 10 June 2007. I have seen this species running along the wall forming Castle Breakwater which forms the northern border of Havelet Bay on Guernsey's east coast.

sealord > I visited the pebble and cobble beach at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast during the night of 10 June 2007. While picking up litter on the beach I noticed that the ice cream sticks lying about were covered by sea slaters, Ligia oceanica, that had ventured out from their crevice hiding places to feed on scraps of food left behind by humans. Sea slaters were also in some of the empty crisp bags but they were more abundant on discarded ice cream sticks. They were quick to leave the ice cream stick on my approach and disappear down into the cavities between the pebbles. File No. LaV 100607 624 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > I visited the seashore at La Valette during the night of June 10, 2007 to clean the pebble beach of litter left by the summer crowd. During my visit I saw several very fast moving house centipedes, Scutigera coleoptrata, running over and under the pebbles and cobbles on the beach. The centipedes on the pebble beach were too fast to photograph but I saw this individual on the concrete steps leading from the beach to the seawater bathing pools. His body was about 4 cm long and he remained still while I took a number of photos with a Canon digital camera. File No. LaV 100607 639 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
The litter items in this image were collected from the small pebble beach by La Valette bathing pools on the morning of Sunday 21 June 2009 before people arrived on the beach. Some of the broken cans had clearly been on the shore or in the sea for sometime. Someone had thrown glass bottles onto the beach where they smashed. This amount of litter represents a significant reduction in litter compared to the collection on 1 June. This reduction may be the result of the BBC's Beach Watch campaign at the beginning of the month.
