Not the best weather for getting about with a lot of side roads having a covering of snow.
Today being better than yesterday i decided to risk it.
It's been reported that this year has been a good year for Grey seal pups, i suspect the stormy and now the very cold weather will reset the balance. Thats the way of Nature.
Molted Grey Pup.

Grey Pup yet to molt. This is the picture I set out to find, a whitecoat in the conditions that evolution evolved it for, to be born in a white background. A little more snow would have helped with the image but the ice age is long gone.
