Seals

On Saturday the fifth of May we went to Blakeney Point. Blakeney Point is a place where you can watch birds and seals. First we went for a walk around the marshy area.

Looking at the wildflowers - I worked out later that they were Gorse flowers, using my wildflower book.
To see the seals you have to go for a boat trip unless you have super dupper good binoculars. Here are some pictures from the boat trip.

Some boats that we saw.

Then we went to Oxburgh Hall. At Oxburgh Hall we went down the priests hole. A priest's hole is where priests used to hide when they were in danger of being captured. Some Catholics let them go and have a priest hole in their house. Here is a picture of me coming out of it.



We also went to the gardens. The grounds were big but there was a smaller formal garden called a 'parterre'.
