Bonus extra seal pictures.
27 Apr 2022 12:19 pmS2C 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 :)
