PLEASE VIEW LARGER – This little baby is smiling!

The Farne Islands lie two to three miles off the Northumberland coast, England, UK, midway between the fishing village of Seahouses and the magnificent Castle of Bamburgh. As well as being the most famous Sea Bird Sanctuary in the British Isles they also have a large colony of Atlantic or Grey Seals.

Please look at my portfolio for other images related to the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle….

    This is fantastic, especially in the larger view. The little guy looks obviously thrilled by the attention! He’s smiling! SO SWEET!

  • Thank you ever so much Navigator for your super comments! Yes he does doesn’t he?! There were quite a few grey seals all around the Farne Islands, and as soon as our boat appeared, they seemed to be drawn to us and played & posed! It was thrilling to watch!…S:)x
