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 />
