Seal on the beach

Never seen a seal at North Beach before, and only one ever in Pegasus Bay, and that was down on the Spit. It was just hanging with the gulls. No light at all, very grey day, so hard to photograph a black animal!

This one was a NZ fur seal juvenile, and looked to be in good condition.

I was very impressed with a group of young people who came down on the beach with a big dog, saw the seal and took the dog back to the car. Such a different attitude to too many people who let their dogs chase birds and run wild on the beach.
