Yawning Seal

I was very happy when I saw this Common Seal on the beach, very nearby my house in the Netherlands.

 

Seals are becoming more common in the Netherlands and their numbers are increasing. I sometimes see them swimming in my neighbourhood, but I have never seen one lying on the beach!

 

I was able to make some good photos and I went home very happy! :-)

 

This was one of my best shots, when he was yawning.
