The second of two walks today. This was the last opportunity to take part in a 'Seal Watch' hosted by the 'Friends of Hilbre Island' this year. They had set up viewing equipment and.....there they were. A lot of seals out on a sandbank in the River Dee. A fantastic sight. I love Hilbre Island. Such an…
Some great photos.
