Gray seal           Hallhüljes       Halichoerus grypus
 
Some ten days have passed again and the grays have a mass gathering – there are about a hundred gray seals on the beach. In a day the fur has dried, the fur patterns show off nicely and from them the animal can be identified as we can be from our fingerprints. It is still a month until the shedding of fur but the ”new and fresh” pattern will copy the existing one.
 
While hunting for Baltic herring they were in small groups or even alone, how then are such meetings arranged – when there is not even a chance to send an SMS?

The midday light changes the image to ”less 3-dimensional", in photos as well as videos. Probably the gray seals are still in place in early morning, may be a magnificent view.
