I grew up in Selsey and interviewed Patrick Moore at his cottage on West street when I was a teenager for a school project in the 1960s. Very nice person. Enjoyed the memories.
I grew up in Selsey. According to Bede the name Selsey is derived from the Saxon Seals-ey and can be interpreted as the Isle of Sea Calves (sea calves are better known as seals).[6] (Wikipedia)
Yes Amy who was showing me around mentioned that after we had finished filming. There was one recent on Bognor beach a few weeks back and the following day it was photographed on the Isle of Wight so maybe the combination of all the islands around that area have always been a good place for them to breed? Obviously human interference with the coast line has made it more difficult for them to be as successful as they once were.
