The Expert Reporter appointed by the Scottish Government recommended refusal to allow Orkney Islands Council to put up a windfarm on Faray. Scot Gov granted permission anyway. "The windfarm and all the infrastructure construction required will ‘have a significant effect on the grey seal qualifying population of the SAC’."

Delighted that an abridged extract from 'Where the Seals Sing' was included in a recent issue of The Scotsman magazine.

(Although, as a struggling insomniac, I was a tad alarmed to see it positioned next to an article on improving sleep to lower heart disease risk. 😲 🤭)

It's Day, a time for remembering & advocating that kindness & respect are owed to all sentient beings.

I'm thinking especially of the I encountered during my journey round Britain's coast while researching & writing and of the many human-induced threats they're facing, from to toxic pollution.

Today's theme is & my work of /#memoir, , is brimful of ' extraordinary physiology.

Look at those ! Endowed with around 10 times the number of nerve endings as those of many land animals, they help grey seals navigate & locate food. They also have a wavy shape, bulging at intervals along their length like broad beans in a pod, enabling seals to detect fish up to 100 ms away.

This is my cliff top perch, high above the grey seal pupping beach that's close to my home in Pembrokeshire.

Over the years, I've spent so many hours and days watching grey seals give birth, suckle, mate and moult from this amazing spot. And so much of this research found its way into the pages of my new book, 'Where the Seals Sing'.
