Enjoy watching the grey seal colony? Please will you help by making a donation now?
Without your support we couldn't set up, maintain and keep these cameras running. Thank you.
Great news! The first seal pup of the season was spotted late August and four pups have been seen so far.
The grey seal colony, although protected, still suffers from illegal shooting, pollution and disturbance when breeding. Your support helps put this right.
Please support our work at South Walney Nature Reserve
Grey seal conservation
Our work over the past sixty years or so, to make the site a safe haven for wildlife, means the colony settled and started breeding in 2015 and pups have been recorded every year since.
Grey seals suffered from severe persecution, their numbers dwindling as a result. Thankfully, grey seal populations have increased due to a ban on shooting and now the largest European population is found in the British Isles.
