Horsey - 26th February, 2021

about

On the first sun-warmed day of spring, HomeSounds creator and naturalist and outdoor educator Rob Coleman visit Horsey on the east coast of Norfolk, UK. Through a cutting in high grassy dunes they discover a rich sandy beach playing host to a huge colony of grey seal pups.

Like sleeping bags stuffed with jelly, and only recently left to fend for themselves, the pups fill the shoreline as far as the eye can see, corralled into groups of 50 or so by defensive groynes stretching and sinking out into the North Sea.

Martin and Rob introduce you to the grey seal and discuss the development of the colony in this area. Long periods of ghostly, indeterminate calls filling a rushing sea-soundscape, and the crackling hum of industrial fenland, are accompanied by conversation about ignorance, boggy puddles, imagined nature, motorbikes and everyday wildlife.

Welcome home everybody.
