The second of two short videos of Grey Seals filmed in the Isles of Scilly with Scilly Seal Snorkelling. This one shows more of their playful and romantic sides.

Incidentally, in the light of recent legal cases involving animal selfies, I should make it clear that at no point did the seal press the shutter!

A second clip from Pulborogh Brooks (If I knew anything about video editing I would have liked to combine them)

Encouraged by comments on earlier posts, I set myself the challenge of capturing some video footage this weekend. I managed some nice close views on Saturday morning but the singing was a little half hearted and when I got them onto the computer there was too much wind noise. Sunday was a better day and although not so close, I feel the setting makes up for that.

The combination of Nightingale and Cuckoo songs in the other clip was irresistible, but this is actually the better performance and you can also hear the neighbouring bird (which is actually the bird that features in most of my recent photographs). As before turn up the volume and enjoy!!!
