Harbour seals, also known as common seals, are the smaller of the UK’s two seal species, though their name can be misleading - they’re not as common as you might think. In fact, current estimates give their numbers at 55,000 - a third of the number of grey seals around Britain’s shores.
These charming creatures spend much of their time lounging on beaches, rocks, and sandbanks, but they’re also strong swimmers, often seen gliding through coastal waters. Each harbour seal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat, making it possible to tell individuals apart.
In British folklore, they were believed to be selkies - mythical creatures that could transform into humans. Today, their curious and playful nature makes them a much-loved symbol of coastal wildlife.
Here we have the beautiful sight of a colony of harbour seals basking on a small, seaweed-covered island in a quite corner of Loch Gairloch in the Scottish Highlands. With water shimmering in the foreground and a peaceful scene of hills and a boat in the distance, this image captures the tranquillity of the UK’s coastal wildlife.
Add a touch of coastal calm to your home with wall art, or enjoy these serene seals with a coffee mug or greeting card!
