It wasnt scared, looked at me then carried on doing its own thing. About 20ft away from me. Based on the forehead shape (looked a bit like a dog) id say it was a common, not grey seal. Though its colour did seem grey. It was a beautiful surprise encounter. |

I was concerned that they might be caught in nets as they were surprisingly static. Neither seemed distressed, and I was able to see their full bodies at one point and no evidence of trouble. They appeared healthy, and as curious about my presence as I was at theirs. At no point did I do anything to disturb them other than watch. They appeared very calm just surfacing and bobbing and watching. They were still there after I left. |

It seemed curious about us. We stood still for about 10 minutes watching while he swam back and forth. We left when he came ashore about 100 m down the beach. He? was quite dark but not as big as an adult. We think he was about 1.2-1.5m long |
