I was walking across Putney Bridge and saw the seal in the middle of the water, not far from the bridge
· London
Observer description: The seal was initially looking away from me and then turned whilst swimming towards the bridge and then it dived under the water and didn’t resurface that side of the bridge as far as I could tell Observer notes: Sorry I’m not sure what type of seal it was but it was definitely a seal, looking at photos I think it was more likely a grey seal due to the nostril shape
