Horsey Seals, Norlfolk

Coming back fro our weekend away in Sheringham, Sue and I stopped of at Horsey to see the young seals. We had already heard that the Tidal Surge had reduced the seal population at Horsey. We parked near Horsey Wind Pump and walked to the dunes, about a 30 minute walk. The first Access poing was closed. There was a sign saying that before the Tidal Surge had happened there was about 440 baby seals. The last count, post the surge, was 177. Just over 50% loss. Visitors where asked to take care not to disturb the seals too much as the trauma of the surge was still being over come.

Sheringham - after the surge

We visited Sheringham for our family trip away at Christmas this year. This was the day after the North Sea Surge. The promenade was closed when I went for my early morning photo-walk but was opened by the time we got back there mid morning. The sea was still very rough and debris was everywhere. There were some beach huts totally destroyed and all were damaged to some extent.
