Hopefully you will all agree, this image is a little more pleasing on the eye than the last Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) pup.
I thought I would take advantage of the break in the weather yesterday so scooted of to the seals again - there seems to be quite a few 'fresher' pups around with their cord still attached.

Nice simple shot Drew, struggle to fail with the cuteness of one of these guys having a nap :smile: good sharpness and IQ with a 2x at 1/125th

Yes the lens can be a bit of a trial at times, I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment going with the 2x as well ! I should have mentioned it was on cable too !

Many thanks for your comments
