Beautiful wildlife in the UK<br />
Seals<br />
Colonies of Common and Grey seals in Norfolk<br />
are growing rapidly every year. Take to trip to<br />
Hunstanton, Blakeney or Horsey for the best<br />
viewing. Common seals have their young<br />
between June and August, and the Greys<br />
between <strong>November</strong> and January. Both suckle<br />
their pups for about three weeks during which<br />
they grow very quickly. One of the main reasons<br />
that Norfolk has an abundance of seals is the<br />
huge expanse of shallow waters and flat sand<br />
which is perfect for giving birth and protection.<br />
Deer<br />
During autumn the 'rut' takes place, where the<br />
males compete for the females.The young are<br />
born May - July. You’ll find many deer parks<br />
across the length and breadth of the UK. You<br />
can find a full list on the British Deer Society at<br />
www.bds.org.uk<br />
Dolphins<br />
You’ll find some of the best viewing places at<br />
Durlston Head, Dorset; Prawle Point; Devon;<br />
Porthgwarra, Cornwall and Cardigan Bay, Wales.<br />
You don't have to be at sea to spot them, as you<br />
can often see them near to the coastline but a<br />
boat trip gives you the best chance of seeing the<br />
dolphins. Britain’s biggest resident population of<br />
dolphins lives in Cardigan Bay.<br />
Puffins<br />
You can find some small mainland colonies such<br />
as the Bullers of Buchan north of Aberdeen and<br />
Bempton in Yorkshire, but most are on islands, in<br />
which boat crossings are available. Easier<br />
puffinries to reach by boat include Skomer from<br />
Martin’s Haven in Wales, the Farne Islands off<br />
Seahouses in Northumberland, and the Isle of<br />
May from Anstruther in Fife. Sensible clothing<br />
and footwear is required for these trips.<br />
48
Whales<br />
Minke whales - From May to September you may<br />
spot them along the east coast of the Shetland<br />
Islands; the Pentland Firth,<br />
Orkney and the Western<br />
Isles. Humpback whales -<br />
Conservationists are hoping<br />
humpback numbers are<br />
recovering in the North<br />
Atlantic. There have been<br />
sightings from the southern<br />
tip of Shetland from May to<br />
September. Long-finned pilot whales - These<br />
slow moving whales can be seen in the Minch<br />
strait between north-west Scotland and the<br />
Outer Hebrides from April to September. Sperm<br />
whales - Take a boat trip from the Outer<br />
Hebrides to the deep waters west of the<br />
continental shelf edge to see these giants.<br />
Britain’s biggest<br />
resident population of<br />
dolphins lives in<br />
Cardigan Bay.<br />
importance to thousands of birds that come<br />
here to over-winter, especially Waders and<br />
Wildfowls. Other species that can easily be<br />
spotted here include Knot,<br />
Dunlin (Calidris alpina),<br />
Lapwing, Redshank,<br />
Oystercatchers, Blacktailed<br />
Godwit (Limosa<br />
limosa), Greenshank<br />
(Tringa nebularia) and<br />
many others. The highlight<br />
of the estuaries is the<br />
Brent Goose (Branta bernicia) that comes here<br />
to over-winter from Russia.<br />
Basking Sharks<br />
Reaching lengths of up to 12m, Basking Sharks<br />
are the largest fish in British waters and the<br />
second largest in the world after the Whale<br />
Birdlife<br />
With so many places to spot birds the list is<br />
endless, but if you’re looking for somewhere<br />
closer to home to spot more than the sparrows<br />
in your back garden, then why not try a couple<br />
of places that are practically on your doorstep.<br />
Thorndon Country Park - One of the best places<br />
in Essex to go birdwatching. The main “stars” of<br />
the Thorndon Country Park include Redpolls and<br />
Siskins. Southend estuaries - Considered one of<br />
the finest birding destinations in the Thames<br />
Estuary area. The estuaries are of key<br />
Shark. One of only three plankton-feeding shark<br />
species, these gentle giants re-appear in our<br />
coastal waters each spring and summer. The<br />
best places to see them are along the west<br />
coast of Britain, especially the Isle of Man,<br />
Cardigan Bay and between Strangford Lough<br />
and the Copeland Islands in Northern Ireland.<br />
Remember to follow the Basking Shark Project's<br />
code of conduct. Despite being a heavily<br />
protected species, one of the critical issues<br />
currently facing Basking Sharks is disturbance<br />
and harassment by water users.<br />

Cloudy2Clear Announce<br />
Trusted Trader Partnership<br />
Consumer champions<br />
Which? have now<br />
joined the thousands of<br />
customers who recognise<br />
that Cloudy2Clear<br />
Windows really are a<br />
business that you can<br />
TRUST. The company<br />
which specialises in<br />
repairing windows which<br />
are steamed up, broken<br />
or damaged by replacing<br />
the panes – not the frames<br />
has received the coveted<br />
‘Which Trusted Trader’<br />
status after going through<br />
a rigorous accreditation<br />
process entirely focussed<br />
on customer service.<br />
Group Managing<br />
Director Marcus McGee<br />
believes that Which? have<br />
endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s<br />
long standing company<br />
policy of delivering the<br />
highest standards possible<br />
at all times. ‘Our service<br />
is simple. If your double<br />
glazing has misted up we<br />
can replace the glass at a<br />
fraction of the cost of a<br />
new window, in any type<br />
of frame, and with a new<br />
25 year guarantee. But<br />
it’s not just about saving<br />
people money, although<br />
that obviously helps. Whilst<br />
a number of tradespeople<br />
perhaps don’t focus on<br />
customer care as much as<br />
they should do, we make<br />
sure we turn up when we<br />
say we will, do the job the<br />
customer requires and leave<br />
their house as clean as a<br />
whistle.<br />
Locally Cloudy2Clear<br />
service Billericay,<br />
<br />
Hutton Mount, Ingatestone,<br />
Ingrave & Herongate and<br />
manager Chris Miller<br />
agrees that this approach<br />
is a major factor in his<br />
success. ‘The truth is that<br />
it’s not just the personal<br />
satisfaction that I get from<br />
doing a good job but also it<br />
makes good business sense.<br />
I get a huge amount of<br />
business from friends and<br />
family of people I’ve done<br />
work for, which just goes<br />
to show how much a little<br />
bit of effort is appreciated<br />
as both my customers<br />
and, obviously a body as<br />
nationally important as<br />
Which? now recognise.’<br />
So, if your windows are<br />
steamed up, broken or<br />
damaged give Chris a call<br />
for a free quotation on<br />
0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be<br />
happy to help!<br />
