Wicklow Town grey seals

Seems to be a very popular spot to watch them, safely, out by the lighthouse. Just wondering if anyone knows if they are usually there too around the end of October start of November. I know the general breading period but just wondering what's the latest people would usually spot them down there.

Not sure about next to the lighthouse, but I saw a lot of them last year mid December on Welton's Bay beach.

I always thought it was "Bride's head beach".

But, yes... it's on Google. Welton's Bay.

Yep, I think that's the one. I frankly forgot what the name was and referred to Google :P
