As most of you know given the oppurtunity I love taking captures as close as I can to the subject & then cropping out just their faces.
This pup obviously wasn't expecting me since he didn't get cleaned up for his photo shoot...lol!
Have a great Wednesday! ☼
I visited Donna Nook for the first time this weekend, and loved it. Would thoroughly recommend anyone going along to see the seals, whether for photography or not.
I don't think I got anything special or unique here, but this is a set of pup photos.
All taken from the viewing area.
Donna Nook, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve
just a few days old, with mum close at hand to provide her fat rich milk.
After birth in November the pups will quickly grow and after about a month they will be abandoned to make their own way in the world.
During of the short birthing period at Donna Nook, of about 2 months, there are approxiamately 1600 pups. Pups are born with white coats and suckle from their mother for about 2 to 3 weeks. The mother then leaves the pup. She will mate again before leaving the beach. After one week's development, the foetus stops growing for about 100 days, after which it continues to develop and is born the following November. The deserted pup sheds its white coat. After a while, hunger drives it to make its way to the sea to look for its own food. By the end of January both parents and pups will be at sea.
this youngster was right up against the fence that keeps the viewing public back at Donna Nook. This pup was so cute and just kept posing, a real cutie.

2 orphaned Seal pups were released back to the Atlantic at Dogs Bay in Roundstone ,Connemara.
With thanks to the Irish Seal Sanctuary.

I was hoping to find some fox kits this afternoon, but stumbled across a couple of coyote pups instead. At about 2 months old they're on their own and going about their business (sniffing stuff, finding dinner). Their behavior struck me as more purposeful than that of domestic pups of the same age. A fox this age would have bolted, but they didn't seem to care about me very much.
(Their parents may have something to do with my not finding any fox kits, what with the larger dog generally not tolerating - and eating - the smaller one.)

Throughout this spring and summer, myself and Connor Stefanison have been developing a 2016 workshop here in BC. Highlights include, photographing Common Loons with chicks and Red-necked Grebes from boats, Red Fox dens, Great Grey Owls, and some other incredible birds. If you're interested in joining the growing wish list for this workshop, please email me at jfindlayphotography@gmail.com

Jackson & I on a pub (pup) crawl between Lasswade & Roslin. Started off at the Papermill then The Laird & Dog Inn before a treck along the Esk, through the woods and Roslin Glen to The Original Rosslyn Inn.
One cute little pup. First time I've tried to do a video with my camera, hope you like it. Using a Canon 7D and a Canon EF 100mm f2.8 USM Macro Lens.
Meerkats (Suricata Suricatta) are a type of Mongoose. The name Meerkat comes from the Afrikaans (Dutch population of South Africa). The English translation is marsh cat, although Meerkats don't live near marshes and they are not cats. Their proper scientific name is. They were first named in 1776. There are three different subspecies of Meerkats. It is suspected that there is a fourth subspecies but further research is needed to prove this. I will follow the research and when proven will provide the details.
Meerkats are born with hair but not full coats and with their eyes closed. They will live in the wild up to 10 years. However, in captivity they can live to be 15 years of age. Although they are relatively healthy animals, they are unfortunately prone to bovine tuberculosis and have been known to get rabies. When they are adults at about one year of age they will weigh around 2 pounds (750 - 820 grams) and stand an average of 12 inches high (30 centimeters). When they are on all four of their feet their height is only 6 inches (15 centimeters). Like all mongooses, they are agile hunters; however, they differ considerably from most of their other relatives. Unlike the typical mongoose of which there are around 35 types, Meerkats live in communities and depend on one another for survival. There are three other types of sociable mongooses, the Banded, the Kousi Mansi and the Dwarf mongooses. They also live in groups, but are not usually found in the Kalahari desert. While most mongooses are nocturnal, Meerkats hunt during the day. They live at night in burrows, which are complex tunnel systems consisting of mounds, access holes, and tunnels which lead to numerous sleeping chambers. A Meerkat community is called a mob or gang, and can number up to 40. There is always a dominate alpha male and dominate alpha female in each gang. The Meerkats larger mongoose relatives typically live alone or in pairs. These intelligent animals are extremely communicative and posses a large vocabulary. They flourish in their environment and are not endangered.
Another of the cute seal pups seen on our visit to Donna Nook and a different colouring again.
The pups I photographed were mainly so close that I used my phone which I could hold over the wire fence and look down at them.
My last seal shot for now. I shall visit them again in the summer and hopefully get to see some new-born pups in November.
Had an amazing day on Sunday photographing and watching the seal pups at Horsey Beach in Norfolk - definitely a 'wow' sight seeing hundreds of seal pups spread along the entire beach. So with far too many photos to edit - here's one to get the ball rolling!

Made it in Explore, #408, August 31st, 2009.
Grey seal pups are born with a white coat known as a 'lanugo'.
The mother seals only suckle their pups for 17 to 23 days. Her milk contains up to 50 to 60% fat, ten times more than a Jersey cow’s milk. This helps the pups gain weight rapidly and develop a layer of blubber. Pups go from their birthweight of around 28 lb. (13 kg) to 100 lb. (45 kg) in just three weeks. Once the pup has suckled the mother leaves, never to return.
Pups then stay behind on the beach alone for around another three weeks to moult their white coats and grow a shorter adult waterproof coat. During this time they fast, living off their fat reserves. When they are ready the pups go into the sea and teach themselves to fish.
If the pup is a bull it could live for up to 25 years, whereas cows live for 35 years.
donated cupcakes for a worthy cause =) this was from a couple of weeks ago, just made the photo public when I noticed I had 666 public photos, whew! out of the evil zone now =))
Our new pal Lily is now a confident pup but her first day down the beach was a new experience, a few days later she was was offlead and introducing herself to everyone in a well mannered way. We really need our dogs to socialise and play offlead with other dogs in public areas. It makes for happier dogs and a safer world for ourselves too. The more councils try to ban and inhibit the dogs by forcing them on lead the more the dog bite incidents will rise. In trying to make us safer by discriminatory and draconian laws they are causing the very behaviour they are trying to stop. They should be targetting the bad dog owners behaviour instead of segregating dogs and educating owners and the public rather than demonising dogs.
Check out here for another pic of Lily on her first day at the beach.
