If you go over to RSPB Freiston Shore this weekend, make sure that you look out for the common seal that has managed to find its way in to the lagoon.

We are looking for names for the seal. So far we have Sammy, Simon or Ron (Ronseal). Please send us any suggestions!

Have a great weekend.

Simon.
