Look carefully and you may see adult seals on the beach, and the young pups with their mothers in the dune area. This fence is a temporary structure preventing humans and dogs from disturbing the seals, but sometimes we do silly things. Only last week a seal pup that looked a bit lost was picked up and wrapped in a coat by a well meaning lady, and taken to one of the wardens. The pup died very shortly afterwards, and should have remained near its mother. I used the zoom built in to the camera to achieve closeups.

I've heard a lot about this place and known it's often a destination for wildlife watchers and photographers, but I had no idea just how many seal and their pups used it. Amazing!

Such a shame to hear the sad story of the "rescued" seal pup :-(

I love the close up images of the seals in the PiPs.............beautifully captured.

Sometimes the mothers can be aggressive, and sometimes they will just abandon the pups if disturbed by close contact with humans or dogs.
