Godrevy Grey Seals

Godrevy Grey Seals
In October I posted a photo of the famous Godrevy Lighthouse in Cornwall (see pip) where I mentioned we had seen grey seals around the rocks too. Here then you see a collage of just three of the photos that I snapped there. The bottom two, showing the same mother and her pup. I was very pleased to catch the one with the pup suckling its mother, which I think is quite rare to see. The tide was out as I took these from a high cliff vantage point some way from the seals, and I imagine it would have been quite a different picture with the sea being in.

Enjoy full screen.

Thanks Peter. We have never done such a tour. These were down below the cliffs as we walked towards the lighthouse but it must have been a place were they came often as there were notices on the protective fence by the cliff, which bordered a big path to be very careful not to disturb these wales. These were taken with my long 300mm , being the equivalent of a 450mm in old 35mm terms then using just the centre of the picture so amplifying it more. Glad I got them and that you enjoye dthem too.

Keep safe. Herb

Yes, the second time we saw a large colony of seals (the other just off the north Anglesey coast) last year. I was pleased with these and they were caught by me unexpectedly as I though I might see one or two but not so many -there were more than you see here!

Keep safe my friend. Herb
