Description A weaned grey seal pup watches me on the other side of the fence that keeps tourists out of the actual colony at Donna Nook. Pups at this colony are unafraid of people and weaned pups, looking for places to get away from the breeding adults, often sleep by the fence or push their way through it!

Heh, cute critter there!
His fur looks so soft, too - looks better on him than some rich tart, of course... I'm just saying how I'd love to be able to stroke it!
