Little Terns and Grey Seal

A look at the sea today off West Runton produced my first Little Terns of the year with around 30+ birds fishing and moving offshore.
I then noticed that there was a seal hauled up on the rocky foreshore just to the west, so I made my way along to it to see if it was ok. After finding no apparent signs of injury, I took a few photos of it and then continued to watch it from a distance just to ensure it was indeed healthy. As the tide was on the way in, the beach soon started to become covered, and thankfully the seal pushed its way out to the edge of the deeper water and then happily swam out to sea and was then seen occasionally coming to the surface as it moved further out.
