Common Seal...I think? (40)

See WORKSHOPS for closer look and his return to sea.

I was looking for a completely different POV for the much photographed Dunluce Castle which is on the north antrim coast. After making my way down a slippery slope I noticed this young seal on the rocks below. He was moving quite fast over those large rocks but I took the opportunity to include him in my composition.

I think this is the common seal and quite a young one

I noticed a little damage around this little fellows mouth and I only got so near because he had quite a set of teeth which he displayed to me.
