SHY SEAL HIDES BEHIND ITS FLIPPER
HIDING behind its flipper, this little seal comes over a little camera shy. After a day of relaxing on the beach, the adorable grey seal pup spots the camera and covers its face with a furry flipper to avoid being papped. The seal was photographed by Italian aerospace engineer Guido Muratore on a trip to Donna Nook, located on the coast of Lincolnshire. Spending three days photographing the seals, Guido was just six metres away from the happy creatures.
