Seal

I think it's a common seal, but I'm happy to be corrected. It was in the river Ythan estuary, where you get both common and grey.  We actually went there to see if we could catch up with a humpback whale which has been hanging around there for the past couple of weeks, but which was not to be seen this afternoon. Plenty of other wildlife - rafts of young herring gulls, thousands of seals, some in the water and some hauled out, shags, eiders and herons. There are some of these in my extra.
