27255087Dorset Seals Project | Seal recordsPhocidaeUncertain seal speciesmarine mammalSY25/07/2022Slocombe, Tom
15:3014088Within 100m14071Cloudy14074Calm114101Not recordedGetting very close to swimmers, surfers and canoes, as well as getting within 2 meters of the shore. 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.

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.
