Have you all been having egg hunts? (Or poop-scoop hunts, for some?)
At Easter, there are lots and lots of baby animals being born all over Aberdeen, like this cute wee duckling we saw at Doonies Farm the other day. He was only 9 days old!

It's so fluffy! |
Let's go! Woof! |
Woof, I can see them! |
SEAL PUPS!! |
There was a chain and a flag up so that we couldn't go any nearer (not that I wanted to disturb them!), and, although the zoom was trying it's hardest, these are the best pictures we could get.
Woof, they were making funny gurgling noises! |
They were all just sunbathing in the beautiful sunshine, and some of them were wrestling, too! A few of the puppies looked a bit fluffy, but most of them had rolled into the water and gotten wet.
Every now and then, we'd see a shiny, grey head pop up from the water, spying on us, to make sure we weren't touching the pups.
It was pretty confusing, because I didn't really know what they were, but d'you know what?
I like seals!
Woof, they're funny thingies, those seals. |
And, I like Newburgh! |
Oooh, and I had an exciting experience in the sand dunes for the very first time, woof! I must say, I've never eaten so much sand in my life.
Cheerio,
Pippa :) wuf wuf
Looks like a great outing!!!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved joining you there. I love to run on the beach and feel the sand on my paws! Cool seals!
ReplyDeletePippa what a pawsome adventure down at the beach and you got to seal watch as well. Nice one. Have a marvellous Monday.

I love digging in the sand. I wish I had a baby duck to play with.

It may not be an Easter bunny, but we think seals look great! Happy belated Easter!
ReplyDeleteOh Pippa, you were at one of our absolutely favourite places. You know, I once got quite close to those Newburgh seals (grown up ones, not pups) but they spoiled all the fun by escaping into the Ythan. Spoil sports.
ReplyDeleteToode pip!

Wow, that's very exciting that you were able to see baby seals so close up! I bet they were very cute.
ReplyDeleteRuby and Angel Pip
Those are adorable seal pups! Do they bark? I think baby ducks are cuter than baby chicks (and they are nicer, too!).

ReplyDeleteHi yu Pippa, I'm finally back in the world of blogging! Those seals look like a lot of fun - I'm ver fond of them, too, but She says I'm not allowed to play with them (something about they might not be too happy about me sticking my nose into their business!).
ReplyDeletewoof
