Waiting for the Tide
One of the Seals from the permanent colony of Common Seals that live on the rockyy islands in the bay below Dunvegan Castle on Skye.
The species is fairly evenly distributed around the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, except for regions where there are extensive cliffs. It is most commonly seen on the east coast of England, western Scotland and the northern isles.
The common seal lives mainly along shorelines and in estuaries. It is commonly seen resting on sandbanks, easily accessible beaches, reefs and protected tidal rocks.
Common seals have a rounded head with eyes equidistant between the nose and the ears. The nostril slits form a characteristic ‘v’ shape when viewed from the front. Adult common seals grow up to 1.2 to 2 metres long, and weigh around 65-140 kg. Males are slightly bigger than females. The coat is grey to brownish-grey with a uniform pattern of small darker spots, although the pattern varies geographically. Individuals may live for 20-30 years
Waiting for the Tide belongs to the following groups:
