Here is an account of a year's observations of the undisturbed home life of a Welsh seal colony. .

"Almost by chance Ronald Lockley acquired the neglected Orielton estate in Pembrokeshire. With the estate came a family: it included birds, badgers, rabbits, hares, stoats, bats, ants and other interesting wildlife inhabitants." This is Lockley's account of the natural history of the estate which includes "something of the history and adventures of the family that lived at Orielton for seven centuries. [And we] learn how the estate was preserved from threatened exploitation, to remain as Ronald Lockley had planned - a centre for the conservation and study of all that we value in nature and the countryside." .
