About the Book

Cornwall's most iconic marine mammal, the grey seal is also its most reliable and frequently spotted, despite being one of the rarest seal species in the world. Cornish grey seals are part of a genetically distinct sub-population that is globally significant. It is our international, moral and legal obligation to protect grey seals, yet there is much still to be discovered about this charismatic species. Seal Secrets: Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly provides a glimpse of the hidden and secret world of grey seals around the coasts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, from 'cradle to grave'. It includes real stories about individual wild seals.

Review :
'a lovely, informative and well laid-out book. Great quality pics and excellent printing' (John F. Robins, Founder of Save Our Seals Fund, 14.03.12) 'brilliant, a real treasure trove of information' (Paul Naylor, marine biologist and author of Great British Marine Animals) 'The life of a globally significant species' (Tavistock Times Gazette, 14.06.12) 'With an engaging style, Sue takes the reader into the secret world of grey seals around the coasts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. ... Read Sue Sayer's book, which is profusely illustrated with stunning photographs, and you are likely to fall under the spell of these fascinating marine mammals in the way she did' (Tony Langford, Western Morning News, 15.03.12) 'a mine of useful information, particularly about seal movements: the kind of thing you can't get anywhere else. ... readable and knowledgeable at the same time.' (Chris Butterworth, author, 16.03.12) 'a short but excellent introduction to Grey Seals and their world. ... highly informative - Sue has the ability to get her knowledge across without use of scientific jargon. ... gets a full 5 stars. Massively well-informed without use of big words, well-illustrated and readable' (J. Ziolo, British Divers Marine Life Rescue, 17.03.12) 'For just a few pounds, this is an absolute treasure of a book... filled with beautiful photos, amazing facts and makes you realise just how little we know about these shy and beautiful creatures ... Exquisitely well written ... it is a rare treat to read a book which brings a non-fictional subject to life in quite such technicolour.' (Sue Morton, British Divers Marine Life Rescue Medic, 06.04.12) '[Sue Sayer] studies these creatures full time - and there is little she does not know about them. ... With chapters on everything from Seal Senses and The Secret Lives Of Grey Seals to Thinking Like A Grey Seal and Seals And People ... Sue Sayer provides her reader with a totally engaging and engrossing look at the world of the seal, while making an impassioned plea for their preservation. Fully illustrated in colour, ... Seal Secrets: Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by Sue Sayer, is excellent value.' (The Cornishman, 16.08.12)
