Seal Line Up
After my experience at Snettisham the day before I decided I would give Blakeney Point a go. I'd never been before, but I'd been chatting with a couple who'd been the day before and said it was absolutely fantastic, and recommended Beans Boat Trips. So I booked myself on a trip with them on the Monday morning. The tide was very high, so we had to wait a little while for the tide to recede before heading out. It was a beautiful morning, after a grey start the sun came out, and there was little to no wind. It didn't take long to get to the seals, we first encountered this group of Common Seals that posed nicely on the bank, before we headed a little further to a large colony of Grey Seals.
There were also diving Juvenile Gannets, and a lot of other birds including Terns and Oystercatchers. The trip may only have been an hour, but we certainly packed a lot in. I would highly recommend a boat trip from Morston Quay if you're ever in the area. I'd also highly recommend the National Trust Cafe there, I had the best Blueberry Bakewell ever!
