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.

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.
While I was searching a mountain road for snakes, these two Taiwan tugou pups and their mother ran out of a farm gate and trailed me the whole way back to my car. All the way, they tangled my legs, chavelled at my pants, and made it very difficult for mr to leave them behind.

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

Halichoerus grypus. One of over 700 really cute seal pups at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire. This is a young pup, probably less than a week old and he seemed to like chewing the end of his flipper. Perhaps this is like a child biting their finger nails or a baby sucking their thumb, who knows? In another couple of weeks he will have grown a lot, shed his white puppy fur and will head off alone into the north sea. Amazing that they enter the sea for the first time and then learn to fish very quickly.
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.
A bit surprised. Could a pack of wildflower seeds that I scattered on the soil last year be germinating and emerging now? I'm still new at this, having mostly worked with already growing plants. Either way, I'll take it.
Mixed feelings when I see pups for sale in the street, good they aren't roaming the streets and will probably find a home. Bad to me is the unethical breeding for profit by breeders do not care or even know anything about breed standards, or about producing puppies that are conformationally and behaviorally sound. They only care about producing puppies that look fit enough to sell to the average consumer who has no knowledge about breed standards and soundness anyway.
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.
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!
I love to just sit and watch the seal pups. It has to be one of my favourite times of year.
All my photos are taken with a 600mm telephoto lens, so I am a good distance away from all the seals.

The 5 pups and their mom are so much fun to watch. They move about the pond together and devour frogs, fish and fresh water eels and are like a school of sharks in a feeding frenzy.
four consecutive shots merged together - however, a couple shots were skipped because the pup disappears in the leaves upon landing. in the last view on the left, that is just her butt.
This cute pup is owned by one of my colleagues. It was great fun to take photo's of her, she is such a lovely dog.
I alway shoot in sRGB mode and the photo's look fine on my computer. But when i upload them to the internet they seem a bit bleak. Strange ...
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 =))
