Seal Pup Snooze


Unusual scene today at Merryton bridge area. A young seal pup basking on the shingle bed in mid river. 


Tide was long gone, and not high tide until after 5 pm today. I had reports about a week ago that two seals were seen together, this is probably one of them being taught how to fish by the mother.


The river mouth is ideal at this time of year, as many Salmon Kelts will be returning to the sea after spawning, easy to catch for a young seal. 


Was catching a few sun rays, unperturbed by me or the ducks.
