Back into my Seal folder today. During my time photographing the Seals with some good friends back at the beggining of the month we came across this freshly weaned pup who was shedding its Lanugo (white fur) and its new adult grey coat was coming through which is alot thicker and warmer than its pup fur. During the moulting process the pup can get irritated trying to scratch and wriggle off the old coat. As the pup was getting itchy it’s behaviour increased giving some really lovely images. Here is one particular shot from the series where it decides to wave at me and a few other photographers.
