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.
This solitary harbour seal lies amongst seaweed and rocks, facing slightly left with a thoughtful gaze into the distance. Its sleek, spotted coat glimmers in the light, and its relaxed posture adds to its charm. Whether it’s reflecting after a swim or simply enjoying the calm coastal surroundings, this harbour seal perfectly embodies the serene beauty of UK wildlife.
Bring this captivating seal into your home with a wall art print, or enjoy its tranquil presence every day on a mug or greeting card!
