I went up to Norwich on the weekend, and on Sunday afternoon, Patsy, Danni and I went to Horsey on the coast to see the seals that mate there over the winter. The babies apparently go out to sea around February, so we caught them just in time! There is a chance that Danni may have actually taken one of the shots of them in the water. She took some because I was too scared to go up closer to the water at first! I also took a video. I love how their agility in the water and on land are so competely opposite! Much like me, sort of. I should mention that these are "Common Seals" (but apparently aren't very common...go figure!) I also took a couple of Norwich for Ashley (although we got there just before dark, so they aren't too good) The things that look like people are Danni and Patsy...not seals!
I have put more pictures of Norfolk in general on my flickr account as well...
I DIDN'T CATCH IT ON CAMERA, BUT THIS ONE KEPT WAVING!!
THIS LITTLE GUY WAS COMING OUT TO SAY HELLO!!
ONLY DANNI CAN MANAGE TO STILL LOOK STUNNING WITH A FLU-LIKE ILLNESS AND WELLIES ON!
PATSY WAITING FOR DANNI AND I (WE WERE BOTH SLIGHLY INVALIDISH ON SUNDAY AND DRAGGED BEHIND A BIT!) I LIKE HOW PATSY COULD HAVE HIDDEN IN THE DUNES AND SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY CAMOFLAGED!
That's a really nice video. I like watching seals.
