Donna Nook

Time to burn off some christmas pudding. A quick jaunt around Gibraltar point turned up practically nothing (other than a Barn Owl just as we were leaving) so we took a nice diversion through the Lincolnshire Wolds and went to see if there were any Grey Seals left at Donna Nook. Luckily a few were still sleeping off the Yuletide excesses. A handful of pups still around, last one had been born about a week before.
