During my time photographing the Seals with some good friends back at the beginning of the month we came across this freshly weaned pup who was shedding its Lanugo (white fur) and its new adult grey coat was coming through which is a lot thicker and warmer than its pup fur. During the molting process the pup can get irritated trying to scratch and wriggle off the old coat. As the pup was getting itchy it's behavior increased giving some really lovely images. Here is one particular shot from the series where it decides to wave at me and a few other photographers.
