Stunning footage from seal whisperer Ben Burville!

Underwater seals are in control of any interaction Grey seals will approach you if they are interested Seals are NOT pets NEVER approach seals hauled out on land as it will disturb them Keep dogs on leads Seals must be treated with respect - they have sharp teeth & claws

Some good advice from Ben Burville!

Grey seals only spend about 30% of their time hauled out on land On land they are cumbersome & vulnerable PLEASE STAY WELL AWAY FROM HAULED OUT SEALS c.70% of their lives are spent at sea To truly appreciate their behaviour they have to be observed & studied underwater.

Great work by the BDMLR & TynemouthSealHospital showcased on BBC1 7.30PM Friday 30th August

Underwater seals are in control of any encounters BUT on land they are cumbersome & can easily feel vulnerable PLEASE STAY WELL AWAY FROM HAULED OUT SEALS ON THE LAND They are fascinating, gentle creatures but they are WILD animals with sharp teeth & powerful bites

Ben Burville Brilliant programme on the BBC 1 tonight. Lovely to see my soul home of Northumberland. Fascinating film of the seal behaviour, diving birds and the awful impact of marine pollution. Really worth catching on IPlayer, it’s called The Seal Whisperer. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
