I will be travelling over to the Lincolnshire coastline this Winter to photograph the anual seal births.
If anyone is interested in tagging along please shout in this thread.
The Grey seals use the beaches at Donna Nook, (nr North Somercotes) to give birth to their pups,
and quickly feed them up so they can return to the sea.
The seal pups spend approx 5 weeks on the sand banks getting fat, then they're left to fend for themselves.
The females mate on their way back to sea, with the large bulls that wait on the shoreline.
You will have the opertunity to photograph a lot of baby seals (last year approx 1000 were on the beach), the mothers and the bulls.
You will need to take warm clothing and waterproof footwear :snowball:.
Food and warm drinks can be purchased from the mobile sandwich bar,
(these weren't bad last year):thumb:.
The dates I'm looking at are from the end of November into December.
This has to coincide with the tides and can only be on a weekend (the RAF use the beach as a bombing run during the week, totally no access).
Thats it for now, hopefully some of you can join me.:thumb:
Look here for suggested dates.
