Hi,

One of our targets on the trip to north Norfolk was the Seals....
this juvenile was very accomodating and afforded lots of images on several passes....

Still working through many, many images...

(Brett, Tony... I lied it was in fact over 12gigs on Wednesday :eek: )

Good company and great subjects made for a very enjoyable few days.

All the best

Phil

A nice image Phil - makes me want to get back out there with them very soon :wavey:

The light looks as if it was being kind to you too - that'll be that "sun shining on the righteous" thing again!! :biggrin:
