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, both gazing to the left, look right at home amongst the seaweed on the shoreline. Their calm, focused expressions capture the relaxed vibe of the seaside as they take in the world around them. Whether they're resting after a swim or simply enjoying the salty air, these seals remind us to pause and savour life's simple moments.
Bring this peaceful duo into your home with wall art, or brighten someone's day with a greeting card or coffee mug featuring these laid-back seals!
