This is a yearling (1+ year old) ribbon seal. He is in the beginning stages of his molt. Every year, seals will replace their coat with all new fur. During this time, the seals tend to spend more time hauled out and resting.
All of our work and photos of ice seals are conducted under permits
(782-1676 and 782-1765) in concordance with the Marine Mammal Protection
Act.

There were 26 seals hauled out on the rocks today! Quite a change from 2 days ago when there were only 6. Most of them looked like pregnant females.
The one on the left has good spots for identifying. I do not recognize her, but if she will point her belly my way again someday maybe I will be able to recognize her.
Larger size for more detail.

Seals on Tentsmuir beach, Scotland
(Quality is poor due to being taken on a 4mega pixel camera at the top end of its zoom, not to mention lying down on my front in the sea, so as not to be seen by them!)
Taken from the Sound, Isle of Man, United Kingdom. This seal was about 120 m away, and pushed the limits of the Fuji zoom lens.

Because they do not circulate blood next to the skin at sea, since they would then lose body heat, elephant seals come on shore once a month to grow new skin and shed the old. This is one of their two visits to the rookery per year.
Donna Nook 2014
For much of the year grey seals at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trusts’ Donna Nook National Nature Reserve are at sea or hauled out on distant sandbanks.
Every November and December, the seals give birth to their pups near the sand dunes: a wildlife spectacle which attracts visitors from across the UK

Breeding site for seals in autumn/winter Donna Nook is one of the most accessible sites for seeing seals at a time of breeding in the UK. Elsewhere they either gather on beaches but in far away places like the Scottish islands, or they are out to sea in rocky outcrops. In Lincolnshire it is a short ride from near Louth to the beach and there they are, in late autumn and early winter.
Donna Nook National Nature Reserve (NNR) is probably the best place within the U.K. for photographing grey seals. Each year, as autumn rolls into winter, hundreds of grey seals begin hauling themselves out onto Donna Nooks' sandbanks to give birth to their pups. Here the most important activities of the grey seal calendar are played out, giving photographers unprecedented opportunities to capture dramatic pictures of this spectacular period.
