(From wirralnews.co.uk) – Coastguards have condemned thrill-seekers who terrorised grey seals on Salisbury Bank, near Hilbre Island. Worried passers-by alerted the Coastguard to the group of 17 picnickers who had sailed out to the sand bank in three pleasure crafts last Sunday.
The Coastguard was informed that the day trippers were running up and down the bank, chasing the seals.
