Langstone Harbour, Harbour Seal (Phoca vitulina L.)

Photographs taken from approx 350m away. So no apologies for the unashamedly poor quality of these record shots.

locally sourced Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina L.)

After a recent tip-off I finally caught up with my first (two) Hampshire, harbour seals, hauled out on the mudflats about 500m from a local landmark restaurant. Great stuff.

Grey coloured seals on a grey mud with a cold grey sea in front and a cold grey sky above - not the ideal photo-opportunity - so I look forward to better views in better weather before catching that all important "out of focus" shot for the BLOG.
