Description

Walney Island is fast becoming a mecca for visitors. They're making the most of the brilliant beaches, ample food available nearby and maybe even enjoying the views of the Bay. But these visitors aren't human. The seal colony there is thriving and a new arrival, a seal pup born just a few weeks ago, is the latest arrival. Georgia de Jong Cleyndert is the Marine Conservation Officer for the North West Wildlife Trusts and has been talking about how the new pup is settling in and why the area is becoming so popular with seals, great and small.
