Sunday 26th July was cool and damp after rain the day before. There was a light breeze which strengthened in the afternoon. Rain held off until the afternoon.
Unfortunately we were restricted to working mostly in the area north of the East Arun Bridge, the rest of the area having been occupied by a convoy of very smart caravans and cars. There was enough to do however to clear glass bottles and plastics in the north area. Adhering to the same protocol as on our previous meet at the end of June, activity was limited to litter collecting.
Previous days this month had been exceptionally good for butterflies, with the first recording of very active Marbled White butterflies on the bridge embankments.
Less active and quite often seen this month has been the Peacock butterfly - not easy to miss!
This Peacock butterfly was perching in the sun on a flowering thistle on the North embankment
