to witness something like this , even if stayed with the Seals for a week i just saw this happening once . Missed many by coming too late ....
Hi folks this was very very special , spend the whole afternoon with this female in hope to see the birth of the pup ... many folks already gave up , some stayed and finally could see the birth happening . The final action was quite quick and sadly not visible in total as the female was moving quite a lot .... so this is the best shot i could get from it .
The light was .... very poor ... almost dark with heavy skies .
So i think that has more documentary character .... hope you still are interested in such things .
No more room to both sides .

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous thread
Love to see the birth of this pup, even though the face of mom and newborn are not visible. Although I do see the whiskers of the little one!
Well exposed and the techs are great, so is your PP work. I am always interested to see animal behaviour, Boetie. Wish you could put together a series of images from this instance, if you have.
Really appreciate you sharing this, I enjoyed viewing
