Common Seal

Common Seals feed at sea but regularly haul out on to rocky shores or inter-tidal sandbanks to rest, to give birth and to suckle their pups.

The most important haul-out areas are around the coast of Scotland, particularly in the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland, and on the east coast of England in the Wash.
