Photographs of some of the grey seal and their pups currently on the Horsey gap beach in Norfolk, England.
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.
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.
This is a vertical panorama stitched together from four horizontal shots, each of which was, itself, a blend of four, bracketed exposures.
I wanted to post photos of our new pup, but I'm a bit whipped tonight to tell his full story. He is a sweetie that needed to be rehomed.
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.
Tasku is changing daily, now her ears are 'up'. They still tip a little if she is concerned about something.
I will try and catch up with everyone soon, it is just so hectic here with the demands of Miss Tasku pup.

Ruby relaxing on my bed, she has had her desexing and hernia op today and I am a nervous wreck till she comes home!
This is a photo from a couple of months back on our visit to Donna Nook. There was also some seal pups that had been born while we were there and many that were just days old.
After much wrangling, the flash batteries went dead, chasing them around a little, 2 assistants, and got one usable photo. Life with schnauzers :)
probably a few weeks old, this is one of the many grey seal pups that have been born on to the beach at Donna Nook nature reserve, East Lincs, UK....November 2018
A pair of former CP Rail SW1200RS pups switch the CAMI plant. After a day of chasing an RS-18u / FP9A combo between Putnam and Woodstock finding this pair switching CAMI was the icing on the cake.
Ashton is 14 years young and is as spry as a pup. He is a sweet guy. I hope to see more of him soon.
Donna Nook, Lincolnshire. This has got to be my favourite image from the many photographs I took last week. The grey skies we had at the beginning of our visit cleared later and we had some lovely light in the afternoon. It gave me the opportunity to get some of the kind of images I'd hoped for of the young seal pups.

Last night I set the light up outside, didn't see much interesting for an hour or so and went to have something to eat. When I came back to the door it had been raining, oh my god ! All over the lamp, cable and extension thingy, thought I was gonna get electrocuted. Very annoying though 'cause when it rains I have to have the lamp inside and I can't really get pics of more than one or two of them together ( my shorter lens is rubbish ). Still it is exciting when they peep in at you, this is one of the bigger cubs, don't think I'll find out how many cubs there are or who they belong to before we go away a week on Saturday. I HATE leaving them, especially at the most interesting time of year.

It was a real privilege to spend some time with friends today capturing a few images of the gorgeous seal pups on the Saltee Islands.
Saving Animals From Euthanasia was at the same Petco as BARK today so I stopped by and took a few pictures of this 4.5 month old female Mexican Hairless puppy.
I was at the beach photographing seals, when I came across this seal pup. I was sitting on a rock for a good 20 minutes photographing seals out in the water when I finally realized it was laying at the hide tide mark about 20 feet from me. I thought for sure it was dead; it didn’t look like it was breathing, and I assumed it washed up with the tide. About 30 minutes after that, I was a bit surprised when it suddenly woke up from its nap and gave me a look. It didn’t seem that concerned about my presence and he eventually made his way down near the water line for another nap. When the tide rose a bit more, he eventually gave in and decided to swim off.
