I have had the pleasure of photographing grey seals in cornwall, which can be seen in previous post, but I have never been so close to this amount of seals hauled out before.

Farne Island Seals
The Outer Farnes are less 'populated' and are home to between 3,000 and 4,000 of Atlantic Grey Seals. It is one of the most important colonies europe and second largest sea colony in the UK. There are around 1,000 seal pups born in late Autumn each year, which is great to see. They can often be seen hauled out on the slopes of the volcanic rock that runs through most of the Outer Farne Islands.
