Donna Nook?

Hellooooo!

This is a really random post, but I’m going to tell you all about it anyway! Whilst visiting family last week in Lincolnshire, I got asked if I wanted to go to Donna Nook. Hmmmm, Donna Nook. I’ve never heard of it so I asked what was there. I got told that it’s an RAF base on a beach with a few seals ‘knocking about having babies’. So I thought what the heck, it will be nice to go for a walk on the beach even if there aren’t any seal pups! So we went and Oh. My. Gosh. I have NEVER seen anything like it!

We parked up and walked over the sand dunes and there were literally 1000’s of seals laid on the beach with their little pups. It really was beautiful to see. There’s a little wooden fence that’s been made so that us tourists can’t go on to the beach and disturb them or destroy their breeding environment. But the seals (especially seal pups) are literally laid up against the fence! This really isn’t normal behaviour but because of the amount of years the seals have been going there to breed, they really aren’t bothered with humans or the RAF planes constantly flying over.

At one point the male seals were fighting over the females.....I actually felt like David Attenborough. Haha.

So if you live around this area google it for directions and just go! It costs a £1 for parking and that’s it, no other extra costs to go on the beach or anything. Adults enjoy it and the kids absolutely love it! The seals are only there November through to December to have their pups and breed, so you best start thinking about going now!

Random post, but I wanted to share it as it is something totally different and not what I expected or what I thought I'd enjoy as much as I did!
