Grey Seals Pic heavy


Here are some pictures of the Grey Seals we were luck enough to see on a walk last week. We saw them on three occasions, basking on the rocks and swimming. They were wonderful to watch and quite noisy.

Amazing pics! I had no idea you could get so close to them ..... even with zoom lens you must have been close! Great to see them in the wild. The faces look so human, no wonder there are selkie stories!

Re: Grey Seals Pic heavy


Great photos Shelley - how wonderful to be able to watch them so closely without them all jumping back into the sea! Guess they are used to people watching! I did wonder how they managed to get onto the rocks sticking well out of the water and then realised that they probably took up their posts before the tide went out!
