Now the births & mating has finished, things are a lot calmer & more laid back at Horsey seal colony, with the seals back huddled together in large groups.
Over 1400 pups were born this year & all have now shed their white fur & can go to sea to catch fish for themselves.
The pup in the photo is about 6-7 weeks old.
This seal pup had a keen interest in me as I did to her, after watching over her for a week near low tide, I guess she became aware of me and it did not seem to bother her having me near by, although I did keep my distance using my zoom lens.
That tongue! No clue what Tracey was saying to him, but he is clearly into it. Last shot I kept of this cutie.

Two pups from different mothers, (Cows only have one pup each year whilst fertile). Over a week old at this stage and quickly fattening up on mother's fat rich milk and now getting more adventurous.
Grey seal pups weigh about 14 kg at birth and have soft white fur. They remain on land where they suck from their mother for 18-21 days. A female’s milk contains up to 60% fat, so pups grow very quickly, gaining about 2 kg in weight each day. This weight gain consists mainly of a layer of blubber below their skin, which is vital insulation when they go to sea.
Pups stay on land until they have lost their white coats and trebled their body weight.
Grey seal pups are very vocal. Their cries sometimes sound like a human baby crying. This is normal behavior that helps mothers find their pups on crowded beaches . The cows do not feed while nursing pups.

Sorry for those who commented on the original image - I made the image public before I realized I needed to make the 4 images square!
Just having some fun with Cola and MS Photodraw! Lost some of the clarity but I'll have to work on that!
I changed the title thanks to getthebubbles!
This shot is a tribute to the Pup who we lost unexpectedly about 9 months ago. He had gotten into something that was toxic that took him quickly.
This was one of his favourite areas to explore down here in the desert. So I think it's a fitting shot for him.
This is the first landscape shot I have taken since then. Definitely lost all urge to grab the camera.
This shot was taken down in the Palm Springs Area of California.
We do have a new pup, but he's still got some learning to do. But I'm sure he'll do just fine as time moves on

This is a shot I wanted to try before I got to Ohau. It's a seal pup at the base of the waterfall taken at high iso with a short exposure combined with a long exposure with a CPL for the rest of the scene. If you've been there, you know that there are many pups constantly splashing in the background and it's pretty dark in there! The polariser made the scene appear nicer overall but really limited the ability to take action shots because of the higher iso needed. Charlotte also became more interested in my tripod than the seals after a while, so we ended up just watching rather than photographing
Recently I landed a fieldwork job, I love it because I get to visit towns near and outside the city. Get to see all these pets and it seems like they are waiting for a camera to walk past them.
I kept well away and a long distance between the seals and pups. As not to disturb or stress them. The advantage of having a long reach lens :-)
Just for Ken!
Another of the pups seen on my very enjoyable visit to see the seals on Thursday.
This and the white one uploaded yesterday are the extremes of the colouring of the pups seen. I intend uploading at least 2 other pups with colouring in between these 2 extremes.

Skye turned one year old recently, but she is still a puppy, just larger. She is definitely still a puppy for snow, it makes her a crazy dog! These two shots of Skye were taken about 10 months apart.
