Grey Seal Headshot

The Grey Seals are always curious and amazingly cooperative subjects on our daily boat excursions during my Gannets Galore and so much more workshops. With their varied colourations and expressive faces, they are always a delight to observe and photograph.

Sea Wolf Howling or Grey Seal Calling

A Grey Seal (AKA Sea Wolf) howled under Bonaventure Island's cliffs in Percé, Quebec, Canada. I am returning to Percé to host my annual Gannets Galore (and so much more) workshop. Super excited to get back to one of my favourite places on Earth! Getting out in the 28-foot Zodiac Hurricane for four hours each morning is an absolute highlight - hearing the seals howl is pure magic to my ears - smile!
