Fur seal, a photo from South Australia, West

Photographer's Note

The road in my photo yesterday leads to Cape du Couedic which is a favourite hangout for fur seals like this big male sunning himself on the rocks.
Male? You can tell by the colour - dark back and slightly lighter front. They prefer rocky places like this for breeding.

Best in the large view.

Hello Ian, I am happy that I can see some wild animals in your pictures. Splendid view of this big seal. I didn't know one could see them in Australia. I was in Adelaide, why I didn't go to Kangaroo Island :(. And what about kangaroos on this island?

Kind regards MAlgo

Hello Ian,
A very nice portrait of the seal enjoying the sun. It is well placed and the photo is not just very sharp. I also like the shapes of the rocks and the many grey tones.
Best regards,
Gert
