Harbour Seal

January 7th


Along with the Mink I saw here on exactly the same day - January 7th in 2012, this was as much of a surprise to see a Harbour Seal coming out of the Roding at a rate of knots.

Being low tide I am presuming that it went up in the night after the Mullet etc and who knows could well have gone right up to Barking.

Its not getting a surprise to see a Seal this far up the Thames anymore, even Grey's but seeing one in the Creek coming out was certainly unusual.

Teal actually got out of its way.

Impressive speed
