    Grey Seal ?

    Hi, I have now queried this with him and he firstly suggests that Grey & Common can in fact lay tail up or in the "banana" position when at rest. He then refers to what he calls the "smile" he attributes to the Common Seal and not a feature of Grey which he felt was lacking in the photo.. The...

    Grey Seal ?

    Hi Mark, I had in fact had this down as a Common Seal myself and posted it as such on a social media platform. However I then had a message from someone I knew who amongst other things monitored and surveyed Seal populations. They informed me that it was in fact a Grey Seal ...I'm sure you can...

    Grey Seal ?

    Tatty Great-Spotted Woodpecker

    Hi Andy, like you I initially put it down to either being very grubby through the nest site itself or as you suggest a muddy bath.

However today I was able to grab this photograph which makes me have doubts about this. I'm not...
