Grey Seals near Scousburgh Sands (Sppigie Beach), Shetland
I had the luck to see and film this colony of Grey Seals near Scousburgh Sands (Sppigie Beach), Shetland.
There are a lot of seals around Shetland, but this place seems to be especially easy to access and as a bonus even if the seals are not there the area is very picturesque and nice. This as far as I understand were Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus), which are a bit bigger then the Common Seals and have more "bull terrier" - like profile. Sadly they were too timid to let me get closer to them, which may be legacy from the times when they were hunted.
