At the beginning of the season, mom's are big and fat. But they make hungry hungry pups, and by the time their pups are all grown up and ready to go out on their own mom's are very tiny. These two lovely ladies show the start and finish points. A very big difference!
It's that time of year again; the pups are growing up, turning into big fat weaners, and roaming around the island. This little guy kept me company sleeping next to me half the day :)
This little guy has developed a habit of sneaking into my equipment when I am not looking. This is the fourth day in a row that he has seen me put down my stuff, and has run straight to it to check things out. In exchange for his dedicated supervision, he has gracioulsy allowed me to get some wonderful photos :)
Adult grey seal males are big and seem to be very intimidating, but actually are very easy going and easy to work around. This guy couldn't care less that I was sitting with him, just continued to snooze and check out the lady seals. Plus they smell great! Someone needs to market Eu de' Male Seal, they'd be rich.
