Grey Seal injuries

Halichoerus grypus. Part of a group of 8 immature Grey Seals resting at high tide at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire. These are teenagers hanging about quite a way from their nearest breeding colonies. A couple of them have injuries, one to the neck and two with injuries to the belly. Tim Melling has suggested that the injuries look like they have been caused by other Grey Seals. The Grey Seal population in the North Sea is continued to increase.
