An exciting day at Seal Bay

Another exciting couple of days.........

Yesterday there was a young female sea lion which was entangled in a piece of shark netting. Luckily the crew managed to get her and get the netting off!!! It looked like she had been cut loose........ so I guess the good bit was she did not drown and made it back home to Seal Bay.

According to Paul, she was feisty (that's a good sign) and put up quite a fight when the boys caught her........ Colin actually got bitten in the rescue !!!! Ouch !!!

It was still quite loose so she will not scar - and we don't know who she was because the rescue happened so fast they did not have time to scan her...... never mind, it was still a good feeling to know we have managed to save her !!!!

Today was beautiful on the beach, sheltered from the wild northerly winds and the light was just amazing. There were animals everywhere and my groups were quite surprised to see a curious juvenile on the platform but then again - it is their home after all, so why not???

The day eneded with a wild and wooly storm setting in just before 5pm and we had a female with her pup on the path just at the start of the bridge, so it was pretty exciting getting the last group past her. She was pretty aggro by then as she had spent the last half hour trying to keep her pup away from an amorous young sub adult male and then had to tell off a female which got stroppy with her pup in the melee....

Another exciting afternoon on the beach with some great action in those huge waves and lots of pups romping around.......

catch you later
