Southern Elephant Seal on the Beach (He has become quite the star)

This Southern elephant Seal has become quite a star since he appeared to take a rest on a local beach. He is drawing a considerable crowd but, thankfully, there are a load of rangers (and the police) making sure the public doesn't bother him as he chills out.

He was somewhat larger than I expected, being that he isn't fully grown.

Comments & feedback, as ever, most appreciated.

Super shots of him! I'm impressed you managed to avoid any people in the shots

I saw he disappeared over night, but is back again now - obviously enjoying our sunshine. An impressive sight!

Love that last shot!
