Donna Nook, Seals, Birds, Nature & Wildlife

Last month I promised to let you know the total number of seals born at Donna Nook in 2009. I now have this innformation and can tell it was 1371.

 The end of the seal season brought three visitors who wanted to get some photographs of late seaason seals and the birds currently at Donna Nook and we regularly host professionals who come to the area for pictures.The pictures here show some of the species to be seen.

North East Lincolnshire has many venues for observing wildlife. Another well known place for birds is Gilbraltar Point which has lots of facilities including hides for photographers. These are managed by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and details of all their nature reserves can be found on their website.

You do not have to travel very far from Cloddygate Farm for wildlife pictures. During winter the fields around our farmhouse are frequently visited by many species including curlews . In the summer wild orchids and other rare plants can be found on the dunes at Theddlethorpe.

Cloddygate Farm caters for all types of visitor and, if you are a small group, you need look no further if you want somewhere to stay whilst visiting the area
