Seals return to Donna Nook breeding colony
November 8, 2008

LINCOLNSHIRE'S record-breaking seal colony has returned to its breeding ground.

The first of thousands of seals have begun their annual migration to the shores of Donna Nook, near North Somercotes, to rear their young. There were up to 70,000 human visitors to the area last year and wardens have urged all visitors this season to respect "house rules".

Coastal warden Rob Lidstone-Scott said there were almost 1,200 grey seal pups born last year making it the largest colony in England.
