Donna Nook has been somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for a couple of years now, so the other Sunday we made the 2 hour drive from Ilkley to witness the spectacle of watching Grey Seals haul themselves up on to the shore to give birth to their pups at this time of year. We were unlucky not to be able to witness an actual birth, but there was plenty of evidence of new pups being born as recently as the night before we arrived.
