Today at Blakeney Point there were many seal pups in the dunes. Only six were seen east of the start of the dunes on the Point -two of which were in a bad way while the others were well fed.
Surprised that the total for pups at the Point was 1200 as I understood there were about 500 there two weeks ago and pupping had almost finished. There were seals swimming in water in the depression on the south side of the plantation and also a cow and pup swimming in a pool in the lupins.
The new balcony on the lifeboat station is damaged as is the ramp which was where the lifeboat was launched in days of old.
As expected a lot of shingle has been pushed inland and the top of the shingle ridge now has lost all the docks and small suaeda bushes that had taken root there.
