Observer description: I was sat on the steps when a seal came out of the water towards me in the night. It was so unexpected that I squealed “OMG its a seal” i regret that so much as it startled the darling creature and it quickly turned around and swam off with its beautiful head out the water sort of panting from its nose. Observer notes: It was Night time so not sunny more crescent moonlit warm night. Will the seal be ok? Sadly my phone had died. It was so unexpected i had absolutely no idea we had seals in the themes
