This is a young Grey Seal pup which is now independent and is mounting into its more waterproof teenage coat. It’s certainly looking healthy enough to survive the next week or two!

The Isle of May has transformed into an active Grey Seal colony. You can see the pathways and way markers where the public walked in the summer! Different now.

A slight issue when leaving the Heligoland trap (a trap used for catching birds to ring). Mother seal has just arrived, best leave her in peace

A young Grey Seal pup totally depends on its mother for the first 21 days of its life as it feeds on its mums milk. Here is a youngster feeding on the Isle of May.
