Grey Seal and pup, Shetland

[crieffy]

I made the gruelling hike and climb down the cliffs to see my nearest Grey Seal pups - only three pups so far and the rocks kept them mostly hidden from me :-/ My thighs were definitely feeling the extra weight of the 200-400mm and it's case!

Some lovely expressive moments with the little one. It looks absolutely adorable, but not a little face I'd want to put my hand too close to.........................

"Excellent" set of shots Sir.

Pupping seaon is well on it's way for more that a month in orkney. First one looks pretty skinny, maybe it's just very young. I like the third picture and wonder if it would work well in black and white too.! Nicely done.
