Lovely to have the opportunity to contribute a grey seal-themed article to the Tales from the Bush section of this month's BBC Wildlife magazine. A couple of photos of the one seal pup birth I've been lucky enough to witness accompany the piece too.
(And many more of my grey seal-watching stories from pupping colonies all round the coast of Britain feature in my work of #naturewriitng/#memoir, #WhereTheSealsSing, published by #HarperCollinslast year.)
To coincide with last week's Oceans on the Brink event, I was invited to write a piece about my years spent observing grey seals and thoughts on how we might nurture a more sensitive co-existence with them, for the Writers Rebel blog.
And, of course, my book, 'Where the Seals Sing', explores the co-existence issue and recounts my long-term connection with grey seals, in much more detail!

Grunts and snorts and wails were bringing depth and texture to the pre-dawn dark. From my dune-top spot, my eyes gradually acclimatised to the lack of light and I managed to make out hordes of hulking forms persistently shunting themselves into new configurations on the beach.

While the publication of #WhereTheSealsSing was the highlight of my year, growing #houseplants from seed has given me lots of pleasure in 2022.
Coleus of many hues. Clivia. Spiral aloe (aloe polyphylla). Chlorophytum orchidastrum 'green orange'. Cacti. Cape sundews (drosera carpensis). Swiss cheese plants (monstera deliciosa).... It's been a real joy.
Solstice seal silhouettes.
Wishing you all a cheery return of the light.

Delighted that an abridged extract from 'Where the Seals Sing' was included in a recent issue of The Scotsman magazine.
(Although, as a struggling insomniac, I was a tad alarmed to see it positioned next to an article on improving sleep to lower heart disease risk. 😲 🤭)

It's #InternationalAnimalRights Day, a time for remembering & advocating that kindness & respect should be shown to all sentient beings.
I'm thinking especially of the #greyseals I encountered during my journey round Britain's coast while researching & writing #WhereTheSealsSing and of the many human-induced threats they're facing, from #marinedebris to toxic pollution.

For #SilentSunday, a wonderfully plump #greyseal pup suckling from her mother.
Spotted this pair back in September on my local grey seal pupping beach in #Pembrokeshire - the beach that features in many of the chapters of my #newbook, 'Where the Seals Sing'.
