And I thought I was doing well with 8 seals at the Bridge of Don...
What focal length were you using to get your grey seal shots anth?
You need to get yourself to Newburgh...
There's a short walk from the golf club to see the seals from the other side of the water (which we normally do), or a longer walk on the peripherary of the Forvie Reserve that took us here. There are usually maybe 15-20, this was exceptional.
We managed to get within about 30 yards. Any closer and they got a little spooked - and we'd got to that point very very slowly. We sat for about 45 minutes just watching and snapping away - the noise from them was incredible. 200mm for the close-ups - some are cropped down, others left full size.
Seriously, your seal fetish needs to be sated with a trip!
EDIT: there are certain times of year, when there are young pups, that you're not allowed to walk round this side as well.
