Halichoerus grypus
Spotted on a call out while working for DEFA, someone reported that this pup was injured but was quite happy when we got there! Once a threatened species is now on the rise with the UK holding one of the largest populations in the world!

"have a more pronounced droop in the lips like an upturned heart than the harbours" Like that description I'll keep an eye out for droopy lips!
I can't be sure because the angle is difficult but there is something about the set of the eyes they seem wider apart on a Harbor seal.
Really i thought it was a grey because the snout was longer then others i had seen around there! i find also the greys have a more pronounced droop in the lips like an upturned heart than the harbours
And this maybe a harbor seal... a slightly shorter nose.
