Atlantic Grey Seals

I visit the west pier at Dun Laoghaire where there were gulls gathering near the Fish Shop.  Here the Grey Seals were feasting on scraps thrown out by the fishermen.

Atlantic Grey Seal

These adult Atlantic Grey Seals were basking in the sunshine on the western end of Great Saltee Island last Saturday.  The island has a large breeding population and pups are generally born here in September and October.
