Today, my lovely friend took me to the Norfolk coast to see the seals on the beach. This was a truly magical experience with the fluffy new pups and parents 'lounging' on the windswept beach. With a count of 291 pups the seals here are doing well, even with the storm surge that hit last week causing devastation to many of the families. It was incredible to be able to get so close to such a wonderful creature, at moments we were just a meter away from some and I managed to get some beautiful pictures.
After a busy term of university work, it was a lovely break from my dissertation and a perfect, not too cold, morning to visit and I'm so glad the volunteers and locals have worked together to protect such a wonderful group of animals in such a natural site. I learnt a lot today about seals, something I've never had a particular interest in, and I'd recommend taking some time to find out about something new, I've had a wonderful day! Now for a nice cup of tea!
