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.

It seemed to be playing and was not disturbed or wary of quite a number of people watching from the beach. A dog barked but was restrained. The seal beached itself and was rolling in the surf. We watched from the cliff top for about 10 minutes. The photos we took do not give much detail as too far away. I will attempt to send one.can get it from phone to iPad.
