Spotted on the mudflats in Hayling Island. The young shoots, leaves and flower buds of the Golden Samphire are edible and are often used in salads. Throughout Europe, it used to be pickled or cooked, most often used as a relish.

This is a view acorss the harbour with an incoming tide. The remains of Warblington Castle are in the background. In the foreground are two posts which mark the start of a walkway to Hayling Island (only useable at low tide) which was probably used around 300 years ago, by smugglers bringing goods on and off Hayling Island under cover of darkness.
