Wells -Next-The-Sea and Blakeney Point

On Wednesday, we met Chris at Wells Beach and walked along to Holkham for lunch and back - note the crowded beaches! In the afternoon, we took a boat trip out to the seals and terns. Three species of Tern had arrived during the past few days as the wind swung southerly, Common Tern, Little Tern and Sandwich Tern (Arctics not yet arrived)

Seals at Horsey

There are around 400 Grey Seal pups on the beach at Horsey - all ages but all unbearably cute.

Seals in Norflok

Some images of the Grey seals that come ashore on the beach at Horsey each year to have their pups. The pups cannot join their parents in the sea till they have lost the white fluffy fur so spend a lot of time lying around. They gradually lose the white fur and become sleeker. The adolescent males were constantly arguing and sparring!
These images are from small jpegs - I will replace when I can process the raw files.
