COMMON SEALS
Taken a couple of weeks ago, Canon 20D 70-300mm lens from my small boat.

hi trevor are those seals in Essex? I recognise the red colour coming from the Walton on the Naze area - Am i correct?

Hi Gavin, you are spot on, the red colour is caused by iron oxide in the mud, there is a colony of about 70 seals, situated not far from my home.

Hi Trevor

Nice approach, love the red ones - I've not seen any this colour before!
