…up???…foot???…seaweed???…WHAT?….
…the Otago harbour sometimes does that annoying answer-to-my-question “magic-8-ball” thing…
…also recently washed up on the beach…
…another female sealion on a break…
…that’s the third in as many months (note the tag on the near side flipper…something not present on the other two)…
…nice to see them using the beach so regularly…
….mmm…sealions…..
…last weekend was a bumper critter-watch weekend…
…as if seeing that huge pod of dolphins (& not seeing a whale) wasn’t enough…
…My good friend Dee and I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely lass…
…pretty sure she’s a sea lion but we’ve, neither of us, seen one this white before…
…absolutely gorgeous…
…but a little blurry ‘cos I don’t think she’s had much to do with humans and was very fidgety, even with us keeping to a very polite distance, so I was taking more notice of my escape route than keeping an eye on focus!!…
…those be pointy teeth!
…she was gone in a fairly short amount of time, again the lack of human “contact” may have been a major factor…and being Easter there was a lot more folk about than her beach-stay guide book may have indicated.
Bored with a record shop.
