This pup was born just 30 minutes before we arrived at Donna Nook.
The grey seal (Halichoerus grypus, meaning "hooked-nosed sea pig")
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the grey seal breeds in several colonies on and around the coasts. Notably large colonies are at Donna Nook (Lincolnshire)
The name is supposedly to be that of a ship called 'The Donna', part of the Spanish Armada, which sank off the Nook (a small headland) in 1588.
seal pup at Peterhead today, as we rescued, and took to SSPCA for a bit of re-hab.. feisty little fella! resting between bitey lunges...
This is MJ. He's a stinky pup who likes to bark at me. I guess its ok though, because when he gets excited, it sounds like he's tap dancing, which is really cute.
MJ refused to leave me be this evening, while I was sitting on the worst couch on the planet watching Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (and a little bit of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). Thanks, Eldar, for letting me photograph MJ.
