Over the last couple of days, a number of pups have been born in the flat area near our mobile hide, allowing walkers decent views...
The best way to see the pups, however, is definitely on a boat trip that go to the end of the Point where there are now several obliging pups.
As a consequence of tidal erosion to the foreshore, what look like the remains of an old military aircraft have been unearthed from under the shingle...
We strongly suspect that it is part of the Heinkel-111 German bomber that crash-landed near the Point in 1940.
