Now and then he would turn his head to look at us on the shore. I walked along the beach as the tide carried him gently towards Portland.

14:3014088Within 100m14070Sunny14075Choppy114101Not recorded14098Adult14092, 14094Feeding, DivingThe seal stayed in a small area of about 20 meters for a couple of hours disappearing under water and popping back up frequently. At one point it caught a large fish which it seemed to throw in the air. It was just a few meters beyond the yellow buoy swim zone and in front (shore side) of all the boats in the bay. People watched from afar but were thankfully respectful and didn’t approach.

Seal then swam underwater, resurfacing further up the shore (heading towards Poole). 99% certain it was a grey seal rather than a common seal.

This continued for around 15 mins causing me to change route and head inland between the two points if headland . It followed me in but did not come ashore with me.

Sea was milky / bad visibility and some churn but not too choppy.
