Wells-next-the-Sea

Next stop CL site at Grove Farm where Kirsty has joined us for a few days.
We found this to be a lovely site in amongst all the animals - free range hens and ducks aplenty and with cattle in the adjacent field.
Hens were very inquisitive entering our van in earch for tit bits - one even stole a piece of salmon from our hot bbq.
Took a boat trip to see the seals at Blakney Point - over 8000 turn up in early spring to pup - there were circa 2700 pups this year. Some linger on to moult - as usual they looked cumbersome out of the water but very graceful within it. Grey and common seals together.
Derek, a member of the boat crew was very amusing and made the trip all the more enjoyable.
We landed at the Point for an hour and had a look at the other wildlife - Sandwich Terns and their chicks, avocet etc all very quiet and beautiful.
Kirsty and Karen went for a paddle through the salt marsh to see the open sea.Read more
