19:4014088Within 100m14071Cloudy14074Calm214103Female14098Adult14093Bottling/resting in the waterThe first seal we saw was about 150 metres away. She looked at us and swam down, reappearing about 50 metres away. We watched for about 10 minutes, with several sightings from 50m to 10m. The other seal, which looked a darker grey stayed at a distance of about 100 - 50m. She surfaced several times, staying at the surface for about 20 - 30 seconds each time.

14:1514088Within 100m14070Sunny14076Rough114101Not recorded14098Adult14094DivingI was in a kayak, it would have his head above water then go under for a while then popped up closer to me. 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.
