Seals of Angel Bay

Highlights from a visit to the Little Orme, Rhos-on-Sea.

With large areas included within the NWWT’s Rhiwledyn Nature Reserve its one of those areas I’d been meaning to visit for the past few years but never quite got round to. In early April the main attraction are the Grey Seals that tend to haul out at Angel Bay.

The silver and grey one is probably a female and the brown one either another female or more likely one of last years pups. The males tend to be darker and noticeably larger.
