Norfolk North Sea (36x1)

Udgivelsesdato: Jan 07, 2024

At this time of year, much of the UK’s wildlife is battling just to survive the cold winter months. But along the north Norfolk coastline, during the harshest of seasons, one marine mammal is bringing new life to these windswept shores - the grey seal. Anita Rani and Matt Baker head to Blakeney National Nature Reserve, a four mile long shingle spit that offers protection and provides a perfect habitat for seals to come ashore and breed. Anita joins the beach warden on his rounds, as they count the seal population and ensure the numbers indicate a healthy population. Anita then lends a hand at a nearby seal rescue centre where it’s feeding time.
