Bonus extra seal pictures.

S2C and I went down to The Sound again this morning as he really wanted one of their breakfast burritos. The tide was lower, the sun was shining - and the seals had hauled up both on their favourite rock now not submerged, and on Kitterland which is really a very tiny island -





We counted over 30 altogether - and they were calling loudly, which is fun to hear. Mostly quite a deep sound, but occasionally a more musical note, although still more selkie than mermaid :)

A little further out was someone on a paddle board - I am assuming they knew what they were doing as they seemed to be heading into the narrow passage between Kitterland and The Calf, and there is a real clash of currents there!



Clicking on the pictures will take you to Flickr where you can zoom in and see the expressions on the seals' faces :)

What a nice way to start your day with breakfast burritos and tons of seals.

It was! It was our wedding anniversary and we were going out in the evening, but decided to treat ourselves to the breakfast burritos as well. The seals were a nice bonus - if the tide had been high they would have mainly been at sea.
