17:5014088Within 100m14071Cloudy14075Choppy114101Not recorded14098Adult14091Hauled out - resting on land/out of waterThe seal rested on the beach, I think for a few hours. It became more alert after a while. He / she (I cannot tell) occasionally stretched it's neck round or twisted into different resting positions. I stayed there for about half an hour (at a safe distance). It seemed like it would return to the water because it was becoming more active. I have heard that it was no longer there early this morning.
