While crossing in the ferry from Elgol to The Cuillins on Skye we passed by this seal colony relaxing in the sun. On checking on the web they appear to be Atlantic Grey Seals.
In the WS are more seals.

Hi Ian
Lovely shot of basking seals, just relaxing in the warmth. I think they do seem more group minded than dogs. Great colours and detail, superb photography excellent captured.
Best regards

Pozdrav.
Interesantan pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst ...
Lepe foke, dobro pokazane sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad sa fotografijama u radionici.
Foke se nisu uplasile trajekta, ostale su na obali i pozirale.
Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje.

Hello Ian, a good close view of the seals. They look strange out of the water don’t you think, only able to wriggle their way across the rocks, yet so sleek and fast when swimming in the water.
You were able to get a really sharp shot of them from the ferry.
Lovely natural colours.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Ian
A beautiful shot of these lovely jaws. You show them to us well. Clarity and exposure are well done. Thanks for sharing

Hello Ian,
They are nice animals, and you had surprisingly good photo conditions from the ferry and managed very sharp pictures. I agree with Jean that these rocks don't look like their right element.
But there are only six of them. As a fan of Ingmar Bergman films I am looking for "the seventh seal". ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Ian,
Fascinating view of these seals resting on beach rocks. Fur of each one looks a bit different. I wish the one on the top would appear complete.

Hello Ian,
You did well to get such good close-ups of the seals.
Their bodies seem so cumbersome out of water, without legs to propel them but ... we know how well these shapes are adapted to the water!
Seals have the most appealing eyes, very beseeching, like those of a Labrador!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ian,
Lovely wild life photos!
THe seals are often posing so strangely, they don't seem to be comfortable at all, but I suppose thay are.
Very nice close view of them. The green color adds a nice touch here.
Very well done,
M

Hello Ian,
Fantastic that you could have such a good view of these seals from the ferry.
One of them is sunbathing on its back.
Not easy for these good swimmers to move on the rocks.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ian,
You had been very lucky to see those seals in Skye.
We were looking everywhere on our trip to spot seals or otters, did not see even a single specie.
Beautiful how the sun came out just on time for this photo.
Have a nice new week,
Ike

Hi Ian
You can also see seals on Rottnest Island or at Phillip Island or in New Zealand. But nice to catch these ones in Skye too. They look well fed. Tfs!

Hello Ian,
The seals are showing us ... how to 'lazing around' comfortably on a gentle sloping rocks and using the seaweeds as 'pillowcase'.
Seem like they're having a great vacation ... relaxing by the sea.
I do like the WS1. Both doing the same thing. The tails up and ready to wriggle down into the water with a big splash !!!
The white one in front ... do look like a 'dog-faced' so cute :-)
Thanks for the 'Seal(ed) with a kiss'.
