Observer description: I saw the head and body of the seal, it looked fairly small. Observer notes: The seal looked like it was trying to get onto land but couldnt due to the weather/waves. Original location description: Near the entrance to Battersea Park, just after walk way from Power Station. The seal was in the water and looked like it was trying to get onto the bank but couldnt due to rough waters. The seal swam further down the river towards the direction of the park from the bank.
