Notes: Donna Nook is a great location for seeing seals and their pups between October and December. There is normally a warden present to answer any questions that you may have, in addition to information boards that talk about the seals in general and in particular the seals, and their numbers, at Donna Nook.
Common seals have short rounded muzzles and 'V' shaped nostrils. Grey seals have pointy muzzles and parallel nostrils!
