Distinguishing between Grey Seals

Telling Seals apart can be difficult but depending on the individuals can be really easy. Identification can be done by markings on the side of the neck. Finding patterns in the side of the neck can really help with distinguishing between them and also identifying new seals. One particular female grey seal that I have been following called 'Margaret' has distinctive white markings on the side of the head. This is shown in the image below:


This seal can be clearly identified at my seal site due to the white markings on the side of the neck. I have noticed that no other seals in the area have similar markings and this makes the identification of this seal very easy. The image below is of another seal in the area 'Heather', It is easy to see that this is a different seal even though they are both female, adult and found in the same location.
