What was part of seven miles of sandy beach that lined Poole bay, Dorset, now appears to have gone as a result of the recent storms. All of the area to the left of the groyne posts in the photograph is usually sand, but nature is seemingly rampant at the moment, with no signs of the bad weather coming to an end.
600,000 cubic metres of sand were dredged-up and pumped ashore along three miles of coast in the winter of 2005/6 as an ongoing replenishment scheme, but having lasted this long the majority of it has now been washed away. Fortunately, the sea walls have (so far), held up.
