found this down near the tern nests in birds section of forum growing almost over the edge the sea wall, its a suculent or semi succulent by the looks of the leaves and it was very compact and very 'prone' like most of the plants here :D

Taraxacum

Hi Count,

It's a Sea Spurrey. It could be the Lesser Sea Spurrey or the Greater Sea Spurrey. The Greater has a membranous wing around its seed and the Lesser does not. The seeds will probably not be ripe yet so I will guess that it is the Greater (Spergularia media) because the flower colour is pale pinky-blue and the calyx (the green bits of the flower) are not longer than the pink bits.
