 Our thanks to Mr Sunter for his clearer picture of the Pickering's seal. Our seal is a Common seal not a Grey as previously thought.
Our two species of seal can often be difficult to tell apart when they are in water and you can only briefly glimpse a head bobbing up and down. However there are some things to look out for:
- Grey seals have an elongated muzzle and parallel nostrils.
- Common Seals have a shorter muzzle and V-shaped nostrils.

 Doing the RSPB Garden Bird Count can have its advantages. Because I didn't see a couple of species I would have expected I kept on looking more carefully over the next few days. I was rewarded with an unexpected view of a Red Kite.

Neil Sunter, a regular visitor to Pickerings and a keen photographer, took several pictures of what we thought to be a grey seal, but now believe to have been a common seal, on the 20th January 2012, out of the water and taking fish, in the river.

I have tried to keep this fairly simple to start with. There are no prizes but hopefully it will encourage you to look out for things on your walks.
Perhaps you won't find the things mentioned but you are sure to find something new and interesting.

 On 17th January, together with a group of other people, we watched the seal again and we can confirm it was a Grey Seal. It was in the low-water channel up towards the hide and often it was only the tip of its nose that was visible.
