When Doggy Met Seal-y
I do hope Nicola’s okay with my sharing this with you – Matt found it the other day and it’s really rather wonderful. It was taken on 2nd Feb this year (in some rare sunshine) near Morden Wharf and shows a curious seal (who appears from his tag to be a rehabilitated chap on holiday from near King’s Lynn in Norfolk) who can’t quite work out what Nicola’s dog’s intentions are.
At first I couldn’t either and was rather worried about the barking – but when the seal kept coming back for more, and I saw the dog’s tail wagging, I realised they were just intrigued by each other.
I’m assuming that Nicola and Co. are from a Thames conservancy project or similar. Nicola – if you’re around, I’d like to know some more…
Just a heads up – Real Life is getting in the way again this week, posting may be patchy.


That’s a lovely seal!
hi there. that’s a great blog entry you have written on our friend the seal. I will let you know what we find out about her. nicola
Great post, TGP!
When I lived on the Isle of dogs 10 years ago I used to see a seal regulary in the docks. The guys from Billingsgate used to feed him fish.
