SUNBATHING SEAL ON THE SHORE NEAR HAMPTON COURT
This seal found a perfect sunbathing spot near Hampton Court bridge yesterday.
Cyclists, dog walkers and many tourists visiting the nearby Palace had their phones out to capture the moment.
The large creature seemed unperturbed by the gathering crowd and only became restless when a dog got too close.
The sightings of seals in the Thames around Teddington, Twickenham and Hampton has become so commonplace that a sign offering advice about how to treat seals has been placed near Teddington footbridge.
