Nature land is a seal sanctuary in Skegness, but it's much more as they have loads of different animals. The main attraction is probably the baby seals, these are all being fatted up to be returned to the sea. At some point in the last few months they've been rescued from one of the beaches, and apparently it costs around £2000 to give one medical care and feed it up and return it but they are gorgeous and as they are tagged they know that some of them have been found as adults as far north as Scotland. The main thing I wanted to see (inspired by Judy) was the butterfly house, and it was amazing. They are such beautiful creatures. Other animals were soay sheep, birds, crocodiles, penguins, alpacas and cute little penguins. I loved the place and if you are near Skegness I definitely recommend a visit. Attached (if it works ) is a video of my photos, I should warn you it's over 4 minutes. http://youtu.be/LKQVsBAbHzw

I have to say I love butterfly houses as well. I usually spend most of my time trying to catch that beauty on film!!

The slideshow is lovely. You have some great photos there. Did you find the butterflies a bit tricky to photograph?

Thank you and yes, I even tried to video some but they're so fast. As you'll have seen these ones were mostly resting so it was a bit easier
