Seals & Norfolk Broads
This exciting winter photo safari visits the vast Grey Seal colony at Horsey followed in the afternoon by a journey into the Norfolk Broads. What we do in the afternoon will be dependant on opportunities on offer which might include Barn and Short-eared Owls or a visit, to the Yare valley.
Peak pupping time for seals normally occurs in late November into early December. This site is wardened and fenced in places however this has meant the seals have got very used to people just the other side of the fence and so pups are often very close offering outstanding opportunities as they move about the marram studded dunes. Early in the New Year there are fewer pups but often more interaction between adults and a better chance for Barn Owls in the afternoons.
