This little seal was bigger than the pups but much smaller than the adults so I'd guess it was a year old.

It seemed very interested in me and followed me closely down the beach for a while.

Grey Seal - Halichoerus grypus

Donna Nook, Lincolnshire, UK.

Really nice shot of a gery seal weaner =) I work on donna nook surveying it for the lincs wildlife trust and the sea mammal research unit, so I'm always a big fan of great seal photos ^-^
As hard as it may be to believe, this pup will be less than a month old, the youngest he could be is 3 weeks. This is what all the pups will look like after their 2 weeks of suckling with mum and after they shed their white coats. They put on about 40kg in those 2 weeks with their mums, an amazing transformation!
Anyway good work ^-^

Nothing quite like a seals innocent looking face. Love seeing the detail of the tiny grains of sand clinging to his fur.
