Kingston
Beach was still badly silted up and the shore below the Chart
Datum marker point (1) was
unreachable. Occasional small to medium Blennies,
Lipophrys
pholis, one small Edible
Crab Cancer pagurus,
hid under rocks with frequent medium-sized Shore
Crabs,
Carcinus
maenas, were all found in the central
section of the shore. (3) A
juvenile Corkwing Wrasse,
Symphodus
melops was netted in the pool underneath
the first groyne. (5)

Kingston
Beach was badly silted up by dredged deposits and at the Chart
Datum marker point (1) it
was so thick to be impassable and possibly dangerous.
A few small Edible Crabs, Cancer
pagurus, were possibly newsworthy.

March 2007
The
equinoctial spring low tide receded past the Chart
Datum marker point (1)
on Kingston beach, where a Whelk Buccinum
undatum, a a Butterfish
Pholis
gunnellus and a juvenile Corkwing
Wrasse,
Symphodus
melops were discovered with scores
of small prawns.
Another Butterfish
and a handful of small to medium Blennies,
Lipophrys
pholis, three small Edible
Crabs Cancer pagurus,
hid under rocks with at least two medium-sized Shore
Crabs,
Carcinus
maenas, all frequented the central
section of the shore. (3) Netted
Dogwhelks and the tiny fry of Rock
Gobies Gobius paganellus
were occasionally seen and one live Oyster
was noted.

It
was dark when I visited the beach to catch the low spring tide
which did not recede past Chart Datum where
there were just a few prawns Palaemon
elegans.
