These were taken back in September, but only with the downtime of Christmas have I had a chance to complete the post-processing and upload to my site.

At the time of my visit, the colony of several hundred was nearly exclusively Grey seals yet to reach sexual maturity (so 1-5yrs old) but with a small number of young Common seals born in the summer (~3months old). By now, the pregnant Greys will have returned and pupped, and the bulls will be fighting for the right to get them pregnant again.

I'm no good at identifying Common vs Grey, so I might have them wrong below!
