Apologies for the poor quality - this is just a record of my first exciting digiscope encounter: seals (or sealions, I'm not sure which) off the coast of Dunmore East, Ireland. Hope this is the right place to post such things!

Hi Will. There’s others with far more experience than me but I’m pretty certain they are Grey Seals.

No Sealions in the North Atlantic.

Look similar to the species of seal found in the waters off the United States Northwest coast.

Yes Grey Seals - "Roman" nose, nostrils that don't meet at the bottom, and the typical "chilling out with head out of water" pose; Common also does that but less often.
