On a small beach at low tide by the O2 arena.
· London
Observer description: The seal appeared to be sunbathing on the beach. It raised its head a few times while I was there so appeared ok. I didnt want to bother it so didnt stay to check it returned to water when tide rose. Observer notes: I hope the seal was ok. Have never seen one here before. It did raise its head a few times and looked to be resting/sunbathing.
