Autumn and winter is when most female grey seals haul themselves ashore to give birth.
It seems like a strange time to do it, when icy winds are blowing and the nights are long. One explanation is that after a summer of catching fish, the females are simply in great shape to feed their young.
When pups are born the mothers spin round to sniff them and get to know their smell. The pups are covered in fluffy white fur, not good camouflage on sand or pebbles you might think, but that's because it's a relic from the ice age when they would have been born on snow!
Female grey seals are dedicated parents, spending several weeks feeding their pups and losing up-to 65kg in the process. The pups drink two and a half litres of milk every day and it's so rich pups can grow by as much as 30kg in two weeks.
After a month or so, females leave their pups and head back out to sea where they feed and mate again. The pups can spend up to two weeks all alone on the beach while they build up the courage (and the right fur) to take the plunge into the sea and learn to fish for themselves.
Bath is the largest city in the county of Somerset, England, known for and named after its Roman-built baths. In 2011, the population was 88,859. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage site in 1987.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sul") c. 60 AD when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although hot springs were known even before then.
Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of water from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town in the Georgian era.

This image was taken a few years ago while I was strolling through fields in Kerry one summer and came across this rusted old bath - as you do!

Thank you for looking.
The bridge in the distance is called Pulteney Bridge...though I didn't get to see it up close there are apparently shops across its full span on both sides!

Pulteney Weir - added as a flow control for the river. Bath, Somerset.
wiki link - Bath, Somerset
Pulteney Weir is a historic structure located on the River Avon in the city of Bath, in the county of Somerset, England. The weir was built in the 17th century to power the city's mills, and it has since become an important part of Bath's cultural and architectural heritage.
The weir is located just downstream from Pulteney Bridge, and it is designed to divert water from the river into a channel that feeds the city's mills. The weir is constructed of stone and features several arches that allow water to flow through and around it.
One of the most distinctive features of Pulteney Weir is its fish ladder, which was added in the early 21st century to allow salmon and other migratory fish to swim upstream and spawn. The fish ladder is a unique and innovative solution to a long-standing problem in the River Avon, and it has helped to restore the local ecosystem and promote sustainable fishing practices.
Visitors to Bath can view the weir and its fish ladder from the riverbank or from Pulteney Bridge, which offers stunning views of both structures. The weir is also a popular spot for fishing, with several fishing platforms located along its length.
Overall, Pulteney Weir is an important part of Bath's cultural and historical heritage, providing a fascinating glimpse into the city's industrial past and its ongoing efforts to promote sustainable environmental practices.
Bath Heritage Days are held around the Fourth Of July holiday. I dropped in in the afternoon and found a fairly quiet scene. The Ferris wheel was busy. Through the spokes is a US flag suspended from the 400 foot (122 m) tall Crane 11 of Bath Iron Works.
Pulteney Bridge
Bath, England, U.K.

A historic bridge built in 1774 in the town of Bath, England. There are shops on both sides of the bridge, which when you're crossing it, just looks as if it's a street with shops on either side.
I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I only photographed this corner of the bridge. When I crossed the River Avon into the heart of old downtown Bath, I concentrated on Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths building and didn't continue along the other side of the bridge for some shots.
I'd spent about 45 minutes walking to the old city from my B&B following a 2-1/2 hour drive from my previous stay at the farm. It was 2:00pm when I took this photo and I spent the next few hours taking lots more around town, then treated myself to a nice dinner in a Bath pub (including a non alcoholic ale selection) so I filled every available minute.
People always ask me if I'll "go back" after I return from visiting someplace. I never can answer in the affirmative, because who knows? I still have lots of places to visit that I've never seen, and it's going to take me years to be able to afford, both in money and time, so see all of them.
Other "corners" of this bridge would have been excellent to photograph, but this photo is pretty good. I should just be less disappointed in what I didn't do and enjoy the satisfaction that I was able to accomplish what I did and get the (hundreds of) photos I did. Sigh.
The panorama feature on the iPhone is remarkable! Hard to beat it with my R5 and multiple frames stitched in post. Much easier to rotate the phone by hand than my camera on a tripod as well.

The item is water sensitive.
If it gets in contact with SL default water it will turn wet, drip and will also dry in the sun again.

Bath est une ville située dans la campagne vallonnée du sud-ouest de l'Angleterre, réputée pour ses sources chaudes et son architecture géorgienne datant du XVIIIe siècle. La pierre de Bath, caractérisée par sa couleur miel, est mise à l'honneur dans la ville. Elle fut notamment utilisée pour ériger l'abbaye de Bath, célèbre pour sa voûte en éventail, sa tour et ses grands vitraux. Le musée des Thermes de Bath trône sur les bains datant de l'ère romaine, et comprend le Grand Bain, ainsi que plusieurs statues et un temple.
The Circus.
Built between 1754 and 1768 but Father and son John Wood and John Wood the younger.
This road, along with Queen Square and Gay Street from the air form a key shape, a masonic symbol.
The buildings themselves have many symbols related to the masonic lodge, as well as druid culture. Wood was an admirer of the druids, and was convinced Bath was a druid settlement in the past. He believed the Circus was joined to the Royal Crescent by a ley-line; their design represents the sun and the moon.
It is also believed that if you stand at a spot in the centre of the circus what you say will echo around the buildings
Bath è la patria dei busker … qui i suonatori di strada non solo sono bene accetti, ma vengono considerati parte integrante dell'esperienza che un visitatore o un abitante possono sperimentare esplorando la città.
È previsto un codice di comportamento per regolamentare la durata delle esibizioni e l'uso degli spazi pubblici.
Passeggiando in centro, specialmente nell'area attorno all'Abbazia, sicuramente si può assistere a qualche spettacolo.
Nessuna visita a Bath può dirsi completa se non si gusta il tradizionale tè del pomeriggio nell’elegante ambientazione georgiana della Regency Tea Room che si trova nel Jane Austen Centre, il luogo perfetto dove prendere il tè del pomeriggio .
E se si ordina il famoso “Tè con Mr Darcy”, oltre a una teiera piena della dorata bevanda vi verranno serviti piccoli sandwich caldi con crema e marmellata e scones, dolci da forno di origine scozzese.

We had a brief two-day stay at Bath in February 2018 when it seemed most of the rest of the country was covered in snow.
This is the famous Pulteney Bridge which crosses the River Avon. It was completed by 1774 and connected the city with the newly built Georgian town of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides. It has been designated as a Grade I listed-building.
The riverside Tuscan colonnade of thirteen bays, which are Grade II-listed, runs from Pulteney Bridge to the entrance to Parade Gardens (out of shot to the left) and supports Grand Parade above. It also marks the level of the medieval Town or Boatstall Quay.
