To show how close you can get!

Taken on Horsey Beach.

I had a great day today and I was sat about 20ft from about 50 Seals on the beach and filled a card full of shots!


If you visit the cafe below you are about 1/4 mile from the car park and then just a 1-2 miles walk depending on where they are.
The man in the cafe told me where to find them, I knew they were around but not quite where to find them.

The beach seems to go on forever, good that the seals were within walking distance! Must have been quite exciting! V

Clever crop and yes that's probably close enough.

...on the mainland - we visited Eigg a few years back and you could probably have scratched their noses, only slightly worried in case they flopped in for a communal swim
