点评:Beware. Self styled wildlife protection agents in operation!
We were on the beach with maybe a dozen other folks minding our own business when a seal came up on the beach. Basically, it was interested in us humans and although we did not approach it but stood still, allowing it to do its thing, this was not on for a local woman who, first asked, then demanded we get off the beach, stating ‘Natural England ‘ advice was to stay 100 meters away to allow this animal to come ashore and rest. It didn’t need to rest. I appreciate that one should not approach wild life, like jet skiers chasing dolphins, but if dolphins approach a jet ski, that’s ok. Just act calm and enjoy the occasion.
In short, expect to be bossed if you are lucky enough to see wildlife. Also, go to Kingsand next bay along and buy a pasty.
翻译:小心!自封的野生动物保护者正在行动!
当时我们和大概十几个人在海滩上,各自悠闲地玩着,突然一只海豹游了上来。它对我们人类很感兴趣,虽然我们没有靠近,只是静静地站着,让它自由活动,但一位当地妇女却不以为然。她先是询问,然后命令我们离开海滩,说“英国自然保护协会”的建议是保持100米的距离,让这只动物上岸休息。可它根本不需要休息。我理解人们不应该靠近野生动物,就像摩托艇追逐海豚一样,但如果海豚靠近摩托艇,那就没问题。保持冷静,享受这难得的体验就好。
总之,如果你有幸看到野生动物,就做好被人指手画脚的准备吧。对了,去隔壁的金沙湾买个肉馅饼吧。
