Lincolnshire Seal

Seals are naturally very inquisitive animals and whilst we were photographing them playing in the surf, they kept taking it in turns to get closer to investigate us. This seal came right up out of the water and gave us a good look before heading back out into the waves to join their friends.

Lincolnshire Seal – About Grey Seals

For much of the year grey seals are out at sea or hauled out on far away sandbanks. From October to December the seals come ashore to give birth to their pups on the sand dunes of Donna Nook. Donna Nook is home to one the largest and most accessible grey seal colonies in the UK. There are about 3,000 Grey Seals along the coastline, and 900+ pups are born each year. The area is actually owned by the MOD (Ministry of Defence) as a bombing range, but surprisingly the seals seem relatively undisturbed by the military activity and return here year after year.
