The next Marine Conservation Beach Clean for Johnshaven will take place this Sunday 16th September. All Medics, Volunteers & Helpers wishing to participate please meet at "Seaview" (North end of Johnshaven at 11.00hrs) and report to Medic Rebecca Chambers.

16/09/07 These seals are monitored by Kevin Wales at a location.

A new development this year (for the first time). It was only 5 or 6 years ago when there weren't any seals here at all. Now they are up on the beach, which means I can't walk Gizmo that way when the tide is in. Here are some pictures - It was difficult getting the pictures, they are very alert and horrified to see my face.
