His is definitely an opinion I'll listen to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Are those alpacas in the field and are you looking out towards Rum and Skye? Correct on both points, although not sure Skye is visible just now. First time on the Isle of Coll for 12 years and it's still as beautiful as I remember it to be.Went to a beach at the north of the island today with the kids, saw some seals and they were incredibly close to the shore... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If you are where I think there should be quite a big white house to your left by the field of alpacas? If so I know the owner and have enjoyed lunch looking out his big window over to Rum & Skye. Were the seals this close? Spot on mate, it's a lovely house. We're in the little white cottage about 100 yards or so along the road.You've got me beat there! In my defence, I wasn't in the water at this point and used no zoom, they were pretty close! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just a young one that got curious and came up really close to the rocks we were standing on. We're you out clubbing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd like the Ythan up at Newburgh (Aberdeenshire). There's been a few times I've wandered along the beach there and there have been seals coming within a few metres, some of them being quite naive probably because they've grown up used to seeing plenty of people along that stretch of sand. Guarantee a close encounter by taking a small dog along with you to feed them with. Separately, I once had a seal grab my flipper whilst swimming around Durness. Saw the thing pop it's head up a few times, gradually getting closer and closer until it disappeared and then... whoosh! Dragged underwater for a few seconds as it wondered what the hell those flappy things attached to my feet were. General rule of thumb I've noticed is that if they come towards to you then it's safe enough*, unless you have a dog of course. *might be terrible life-threatening advice. Atlantic Seals would have me running a mile though, those things are huge, and not just the teeth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
