RAISING his flipper, this two day old seal pup gives a wave to the camera. After an afternoon of relaxing on the beach, he finally decides to acknowledge his audience as he rolls around in the sand.

'This small grey seal was not moving too much at first, as he was only a few days old,' says Jeannette, of Morfelden.
