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 pair of harbour seals strikes a charming contrast - one gazes directly at the camera with curiosity, while the other leans its head back, eyes closed, fully immersed in relaxation. Their different postures create a perfect balance between playfulness and tranquillity, capturing the serene beauty of the coastline. Whether they've been swimming or just enjoying the peaceful shoreline, these seals remind us to stay curious yet find moments to unwind.
Bring this unique and peaceful duo into your home with wall art, or brighten someone's day with a greeting card or coffee mug featuring these charming seals!
