This 20 mm long beetle was discovered while picking up litter on the Saline Bay beach on Guernsey's west coast. It was seen on the 13 June and again on the 4 July, when it was photographed. Dr. Charles David of the Guernsey Biological Records Centre identified it as a "large Carabid beetle, Broscus cephalotes, that lives at the tideline of sandy beaches, and is predatory on sand hoppers and isopods." Dr. David says that "it has been found where the sand extends above the high water mark at Saline, Vazon, Grande Havre in Guernsey and also in Herm Island."

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

This is the same as the previous image with a superimposed red line showing the length of the strandline that Guernsey Climate Action Network volunteers cleaned of marine debris and litter on 18 February 2008. G-CAN members cleared plastic and nylon litter from 75 yards of strandline. The next image shows how much litter was on this short stretch of beach. The 18 February 2008 beach cleaning represents the third time this shore has been cleared of marine debris since World Ocean's Day on 8 June 2007. File No. 170208 3192 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
