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.
