At Ness End we had a proper "wildlife moment" listening to the recumbant Grey Seals "singing" to each other across the open water. We have seen plenty of Grey Seals on our travels, but this was a first for us both.
As we then proceeded around the island, we realised that it could be heard everywhere, being carried on the wind. Goosebumps!
