Seal pups at Donna Nook
Back in December I headed up to Donna Nook seal colony and took loads of photos, which will take a few posts to cover. I’ll start with a few of the seal pup photos. Cuteness alert!
Beached Sperm Whale at Hunstanton, Norfolk

Red fox

Some people on the springwatch message boards were worried that the badgers would hurt…
Tame red fox 2
Some more photos of the the tame red fox.
These were all taken with my Pentax DA*300mm F4, which did well in the cloudy conditions and poor light.

Here are some more badger photos from my trip to Pitsea landfill tip, which was made famous by BBC Springwatch this year with it’s tame foxes (more on them later) and badger hide maintained by Phil Shaw (You can see his excellent photos on his website Nature photo pro.com).
