I didn't see the seal which is a shame, I'd love to have one on my Norwich list! The furthest upriver I have seen one was a Grey Seal near the mill at Buckenham a few years ago. I'll mention it around in case it is still nearby.James Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895693455349558444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641288652227497849.post-7959028510596662712014-02-16T22:54:56.508+00:002014-02-16T22:54:56.508+00:00I think I saw you scoping from the Whitlingham sid...I think I saw you scoping from the Whitlingham side James while strolling around Thorpe. Incidentally did you see the Seal in the river? Your count checks out with what I observed although I did not show the same degree of dedication to count! The Snipe are not as visible but I did observe three overhead that were disturbed.Paul Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934845029982079374noreply@blogger.com
