The impact of the storms on grey seals ....Wooltack Point...

We parked up at the carpark just beyond Marloes Court and then headed north onto the muddy coastal path. Out onto Wooltack point, but before that, down to Martin's Haven where there was a TV crew discussing the impact of the tail end of hurricane Ophelia and the force of storm Brian on the grey seals. There were a couple on the beach ....having walked the coastal footpath for the last five days I fear some of the proposed figures for pup mortality may be underestimates.

Seals at Renny slip - not many pups though.

A superb coastline - we enjoyed watching porpoises/dolphins off the end of the point. 
Across to St Davids headland. There were lots of ships in the bay - apparently ( according to the coastguard, who was waiting for the helicopter to take off a skipper with a multiple fracture) waiting to get into their allotted slot  into Milford Haven.
