WILDLIFE watchers got to spot seals and birds as part of a special event today (SUNDAY JANUARY 13).

Using the hide at Hartlepool Power Station, people could go along to observe the area’s seals and many different species of birds.

The event was put on by Hartlepool Council’s Countryside Team, the Teesmouth Field Centre and Natural England.

Teesmouth was declared a National Nature Reserve by English Nature in 2005 and the Field Centre has been in existence for 42 years.
