if you were a seal, you’d be a leopard seal and john would be a gray seal methinks
Leopard seals? You mean those murderous predators that hunt, kill and eat everything including penglins and even other seals?
Tumblr media
That's me? A cannibalistic murder seal? Well maybe- look at its eyes it has murder on the mind it probably ate the photographer
And meanwhile John is a grey seal, looks round and cuddly and just eats fish and other smaller things unlike that cannibalistic murder thing above, looking like this...
Tumblr media
Well there is a certain similarity, especially those whiskers remind me of that dreaded moustache.

okay. so I visited a Major Seal Site (Horsey Beach in Norfolk) and I think I exploded

don't worry, kept 10m away at all times and wardens were present to keep the seals (and humans) safe! never approach wild seals - it's really dangerous for them and you. they look like puppies but are closely related to bears.
it smelt really fishy! I got loads of photos but I might put them in other posts. there were so many seals omg,,, they make such fun sounds too
lots of seal zoomies. also some seals surfing????
if you're a seal nerd and ever find yourself in Norfolk when the seals are there please please check it out if you can its life changing. idk if they're there all the time though. I went in February
i was in full selkie mode. echoing all the noises and the like

In my other Ireland vacation post I promised a separate post about the eco marine tour we went on. So here it is.
This tour's starting point is in Ventry, on the Dingle Peninsula, and I highly recommend it. The people are very friendly and experienced, and clearly care deeply about the wildlife. (This has also been my experience during two Cornwall boat tours in 2018, passionate people who respect nature are the best tour guides imo. ❤���)
Our trip got postponed by one day, ensuring that we had the best possible conditions. And even though the waves were still a bit rough, the weather was lovely and the sightings were plentiful!
Tumblr media
We explored the Blasket Islands, some were blanketed in clouds and others looked so dramatic they reminded us of the Jurassic Park island.

We passed a beach where a grey seal colony lives.
Tumblr media
They were so cute!! This one says ''hello''.
Tumblr media
Next they took us over to the bird areas of the islands. Here we saw lots of razorbills and puffins, both beautiful and amazing animals! Sadly puffins are threatened with extinction. One of our guides said that if nothing changes we will be the last generation to see puffins in the wild. 😭😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
During the tour we also saw gannets, a peregrine falcon and Manx shearwaters. As for other non-bird related wildlife, we saw a bunch of common dolphins, including little ones, some swimming along with our boat!
Tumblr media
And I kept the most incredible encounter for last. This has been a dream of mine for many, many years... WE SAW BASKING SHARKS 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Tumblr media
They described this first one we saw as 'a smaller specimen'. Mind you, when they are born they are already 1,5 - 2 meters long. So it was still an impressive sight! 🤩 We encountered some more basking sharks later on, but those went under rather quickly (perhaps they heard me say 'IT'S SO BIG!' lol). I did see a giant dorsal fin up close since one of them swam close to the boat (hence my exclamation 😆).
So yeah it was one of the best and most awesome days of my life and I wish I could go on tours like these at least once a week, because I absolutely ADORE basking sharks and yearn to see them up close all the time. (It takes lots of luck to get the place and timing right though.)
Feeling so blessed 🥰🥰🥰 (And at the same time craving more boat tours *heavy breathing* Maybe next year in Scotland... 👀)

Seals on the Balance of Nature.
Seals are doing well around the United Kingdom since we stopped persecuting them, like these common seals seen earlier this year on a beach in Cornwall near to my daughter’s home. The common or harbour seals are smaller than the grey seals and, I think, look cuddlier although don’t get too close! Their faces are concave, more dog shaped than the grey seal below. Grey seals are larger, often…
