Some more shots from Donna Nook. A female seal gets aggressive. A reflection shot. And a nice pair of whiskers! Sadly everywhere there are young being raised, there are are some that don’t make it. But nature is not one to waste and the gulls are quick to take advantage. The greater black gulls are…
My trip to Donna Nook was pretty productive and I have enough photos for at least a couple more posts. Including this one of a mother and pup. A female making a racket. Another lying around. I got a close up of a seal being aggressive to another. Some more of the pups. Some seal…
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!
On recent trip to Norfolk we ended up at Hunstanton Beach and had a close look at the beached sperm whale. We could see the crowd of people around it from the car park. It was sad to see such a fantastic creature dead on a beach but the anatomist in me could not help…

I posted before on the badgers from springwatch, which I was fortunate enough to go photograph. Phil even set up his suspended peanut butter sandwich technique so I could get some photos of the badgers without their nose to the ground. Some people on the springwatch message boards were worried that the badgers would hurt…
