The Donna Nook grey seal colony talk with Matt Blissett

Donna Nook covers more than 10km (6.25 miles) of coastline between Grainthorpe Haven in the north and Saltfleet in the south where it borders the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe National Nature Reserve. Every November and December, hundreds of grey seals come to the Donna Nook coastline to give birth to their pups near the sand dunes; an experience which attracts visitors from across the UK.
This wildlife spectacle gives us a unique opportunity to see these large marine mammals at close quarters at a critical time in their calendar year. Come along and learn from Matt Blissett, the warden who manages the site, all about the lives of grey seals and how Donna Nook, a military air weapons range, has provided an unusual safe haven for them.
