Grey Seals

Thinking of a visit to Norfolk as they should be turning up now, and pupping soon Horsey Beach - 2018 All You Need to Know Before You Go (with Photos) - Horsey, England | TripAdvisor

A bit cold this time of year for pitching a tent at an open all year campsite, and we're running out of online booking accounts where if I recommend a 'friend' such as Mrs Scrungee, or she recommends me, we each get £15 back, which normally makes B&B as cheap as camping.

B&B prices in Norfolk seem rather expensive, but I've got a £15 off a night's B&B offer if I book by the end of this month, so thinking that a trip in early December should provide some seal pup photo opportunities.

Is that a good time?

 

It looks like the beach has been closed to the public @Scrungee to stop disturbance of the seals and their pups.

Redshank.


Redshank and Green Sandpiper, obviously had a falling out!!

 

It's a "voluntary closure". There's always some idiots who'll get too close. Last school half-term hols I was at an RSPB reserve and some visitors were walking right out to the water's edge and putting up all the birds, further along a couple were picnicking on the beach whilst their kids threw stones at the birds.

I only need to get within 200 feet to take pics like the one below from that article.

 

That's as close as you want to get to the stinking things! Cute, but christ they smell foul!

 

If you think that is bad you should try a mahoosive colony of seals wallowing in Albatross crap
