Creature Feature (10): Seal Saturday, 10 October 2009


Intimate moment: we watched his mother seal with her pup
on the Pembrokeshire coast
.
I hope the pup is just shedding his thick white baby fur. He did not appear to be injured.


The seal pup feeding...


The mother goes off for a swim, leaving the pup in a sheltered spot.
She turns round to check that all is well.



The mother patrols the mouth of her cove,
ensuring that no predators come near her young.


Another furry seal pup a bit further round the coast.

You can watch our Seal Saturday video clip here...

We went on to St David's Cathedral,
and had tea in the cloister in warm sunshine.
I can recommend the walnut cake, if you are in the area!

those seals are adorable. it doesn't appear to be long before mom can't stroll away from baby though.

that cathedral is beautiful. i can't imagine eating in something so nice. that would be cool.
