I photographed all these grey seals on the east coast of the United Kingdom. The coastline of the UK is host to the largest population of grey seals anywhere on Earth, reflecting the terrific biodiversity on this island.Photographing seals is tremendous fun, if only because they have such anthropomorphic expressions. They enjoy playing together and communicate loudly, demonstrating their intelligence.Many of the shots below could easily invite captions!These shots were mostly taken lying on the beach from a distance with the Nikkor 70-200mm and 1.4xTC, and are from the archives of the past few years.Enjoy!
