There’s a seal pup in the car park. He’s been hiding under cars and seems intent on belly-flopping his way through the gate and up on to the main road. Two wardens use plastic barriers to turn him around. Clearly put out that his adventuring is cut short, he hisses and snarls as he is herded back towards the beach. Meanwhile, on the coastal route popular with hikers, another pup has decided he prefers a muddy puddle in the middle of the path to the company of the other seals in the colony . A warden directs walkers around as the baby lies half submerged, flapping his flippers and blowing bubbles through his nose. Welcome to Horsey beach in north Norfolk, where this year has been a record one for grey seal pups , whose big eyes and fluffy fur are enough to melt the hardest heart. Since the start of this season 3,796 babies have been born along the five-mile stretch of sand, getting on for double the previous count in 2019-20 when the total pup population was 2,069. … [Read more...] about UK seal colony has 3,796 babies to look after as army of volunteers have work cut out

Why Kuh Ledesma doesn’t need romance ‘to feel complete’
Kuh Ledesma Having been on the music scene for more than 40 years now, Kuh Ledesma knows a thing or two about career longevity. And if she were to give the younger generation of singers a piece of advice, it would be this: “Work hard, persevere and think ahead.” “You have to come up with new ideas. Work with the best people. If you’re passionate about your craft, you won’t let it go to waste. You have to have the passion and talent,” she said at a press conference for her upcoming concert, “Hello, Love: A Valentine Getaway.” Sounds simple enough. But there will be moments when inspiration will be hard to come by. Even Kuh has been there, too.

But she needs fuel. And … [Read more...] about Why Kuh Ledesma doesn’t need romance ‘to feel complete’

While she and boxer Tommy , both 23, have received some positive feedback, Molly-Mae has now disabled the comments function on her name-reveal post. Prior to the birth, she told fans on YouTube: “It’s a really really unusual and a different name, I do not know anybody else with the name. “I’ve not seen any other girls with the name before, it’s that different.” READ MORE ON BEING NAMED BAMBI OH DEER I named my kid Bambi like Molly-Mae & Tommy Fury - I'm trolled but don't care A BIG FAWN I've same name … [Read more...] about Meet the mums who called their babies Bambi like Molly-Mae – who reveal how others react
