SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

Trip away from SS15 – Atlantic Grey Seals at Horsey beach and dunes, Norfolk

I booked a rental car from 9 a.m. on 30th November 2022 to 9 a.m. on the morning of 5th December 2022 for a trip away from home to include visits to a number of sites in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk .... see here.

On 1st December 2022, I spent most of the late morning and afternoon at Horsey beach and dunes on the coast of north east Norfolk. This is a well-known location for Atlantic Grey Seals, especially in November and December when large numbers are present during the pupping season.

See Friends of Horsey Seals for detailed information.
