Common Seal Pup, Westhaven

I believe the phrase used to describe this Common Seal pup by my teenage grand-daughters was, "aw sooo cute". I believe that's the correct lingo for the "yoof"  Thanks to Barry Farquharson for confirming what I'd originally thought, it is a Common Seal, the shape of the nostrils are diagnostic. I've just found an old document on a backup drive which was what I'd looked for on the web and couldn't find again.

Some other photos from Barry Buddon and Carnoustie Golf Links.

A golden glow from the winter sunlight. It was still just 2 degrees though and a howling wind


A better Redwing photo but was it worth freezing in a breeze block sentry post when they'd already eaten most of the berries on the outside of the bushes


Goldfinch on Barry Buddon, Olive's favourite bird I suspect, but they haven't come to her garden yet this winter
