#ByTheSea is very much my kind of #wildflowerhour challenge.
And so, let's start with a new species for me, the tiny but wonderful Sea Heath, Frankenia laevis.

Former dry improved grassland site now frequently inundated by tidal and fluvial flows influencing esturine habitat processes.

Breach point in the former flood defence embankment undergoing erosion processes.

Amazing managed realignment site on the Tamar Estuary overseen by a colleague in my team. A climate resilient flood risk management project bursting with bird life!! 🦆🦢🐦 #managedrealignment #floodriskmanagement

Thanks on behalf of the birds & us who enjoy them, to @EnvAgencySE for the vision to give Medmerry to the birds via #managedrealignment breaching sea wall & leaving old defences to the sea & to @Natures_Voice for being surely the supreme coastal wetland manager for birds 6/7
