For #WildlifeWednesday and #WhiskersWednesday, here's a memory from 2010 when we visited the #Seal Centre #Friedrichskoog. This sanctuary rescues and raises abandoned seal pups and provides a home for a few adult seals that cannot be released back into the North Sea. It rehabilitates both grey seals and harbour seals, the two seal species native to Germany. 🦭

We went for a walk along the Wadden Sea near #Butjadingen today. Highlight of our last day here: we spotted two #seals in the wild, chilling in the salt marshes of #LangwarderGroden 😍 🦭
(The red colouration is probably due to iron staining)

Look who came to see us off as we descended the steps to the boat leaving #Skomer Island on Sunday! A Common #Seal (Phoca vitulina), who seemed to be fascinated by us landlubbers. We of course were delighted to see and photograph this marvellous marine #Mammal.
