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.
