Grey Seal
This was a September 2022 trip to photograph the famous Farne Island seals. The weather was kind to us - but the water clarity was not! As you'll see it was pretty murky & the seals didn't really want to play. It was great fun though :-)
Last year I entered a competition to gain a spot in the RSPB 2021 calendar. Naturally I entered my Diving Gannet image thinking it would stand a decent chance. You were allowed 2 entries & because I knew I had no other birds that would make the grade I put in a seal from the Farne Isles. You can imagine my surprise when I was told the seal had been selected… but the gannets hadn’t!
Anyway, it arrived in the post today - here it is.
This Grey Seal image taken in the Farne Islands has been chosen to feature in the month of August on the RSPB 2021 calendar. I actually entered in the hope of getting the gannets image selected - I only added the seal because the entry allowed for up to 4 images to be submitted. Never thought a non-bird would get a spot, but I’m delighted it has!
