| Description: |
The smaller of our two seal species, Common Seals (also known as Harbour Seals) are more commonly found around sheltered shores and estuaries, where they haul out on sandbanks and beaches. When out of the water, they sometimes hold their body in a curved 'banana' position, with their head and tail both in the air at the same time. Like Grey Seals, they feed on fish, but also eat squids, whelks, crabs and mussels. The young are born during the summer. Can be distinguished from the Grey Seal by its smaller size and shorter head with a blunter, more dog-like profile. Very variable in colour, from blonde to black, but generally grey with dark spots.

| Description: |
The European Plaice is a highly sought after flatfish, typically found on the sandy bottoms of the european shelf. It feeds on polychaetes, crustaceans and bivalves. Plaice have been fished to such an extent, that many are captured not long after reaching 6 yrs of age, when typically they can reach up to 40. They're now growing more slowly as a result, and data shows the numbers of all 8 recognized types of plaice are at all time lows. They've been overexploited to such an extent that it's no longer sustainable.
