Rusty colour is due to high concentration of iron oxide in the mud

      I also saw one, about a month ago, Fambridge area. It also had a reddish appearance, but nowhere near as vivid as that one. Great shot!

      Thanks for the kind comments about my photo.

      There were some seals, with more extensive rust stains, that loooked even redder than the pictured individual; frustratingly I was unable to photograph those.
