Donna Nook Nature Reserve

About Donna Nook Nature Reserve

Donna Nook Nature Reserve is one of the best place to see Grey seals (also known as Arctic seals), in the UK.

The best time to see them is during November and December, when they give birth to their pups near the sand dunes, an amazing wildlife spectacle, but they can also be spotted at sea or on distant sandbanks throughout the year.

You can also see a good variety of other wildlife, especially birds, in the mixed habitats of dunes, slacks and inter tidal areas. The lagoons are a great breeding ground for coot, moorhen and little grebe, plus lots of meadow pipit and reed bunting.
