TITLE: Blasket Island Grey Seals

This photograph was taken on the Great Blasket Island, a small group of islands off the Dingle Peninsula on the West Coast of Ireland and the most westerly Group in Europe. Every year the Grey Seals travel to the Blasket Island which is the grey seal capital of Ireland and seals come from as far away as Scotland and the British Isles to breed here
in late summer and early Autumn and stay for the winter and into early summer.
This photograph was taken on White Strand Beach or in Irish An Trá Bán . During the winter up to 1000 seals can be seen hauled up on the beach . The Great Blasket Island is an E.U. designated Special Area of Conservation with special reference to grey seals, sea caves and upland heath.
I visited during the Summer and was not disappointed . I managed to take some photographs before most left the beach to go to other Islands.
