We were stood on the cliff edge above chapmans pool and we’re too far away to confirm a sighting but believe the seals were along the shore line below the cliff |

Seemed very inquisitive, following swimmer and canoes very closely. Apparently unusual to have them this close accord to rangers. Swimmers were advised to leave the water (with little effect) when the seal appeared. And dog owners were told to not allow their dogs into the water (also with little effect!). Unsure of species, seemed smaller than a grey and my videos are poor for me to identify. |
