A sheep befriends a seal pup on the rocks.


A sheep befriends a seal pup on the rocks. It looked at first as though the sheep had fallen off the cliff onto the rocks, but on closer inspection, he had found a track up a steep, rocky gulley. There were many seal pups on the rocks that day, in this sheltered bay. One pup seems to have developed a bond with this adventurous sheep. They sat together for hours, and did lots of looking and head-nodding before parting company. The rugged, rocky coastline if made of volcanic rocks, with lots of caves and cliffs.
