N.Z. Fur Seals .....

Hi everyone,

A drive down the East Coast of the South Island is always a good trip on a nice fine sunny day. And there's always some wildlife to 'snap' .....

Matt.

LOL! The last one is priceless.

How close were you ? Are they very territorial ?

These are cute shots Matt...they are keeping a close eye on you! I love the look on the face of the 2nd one. Nice detail on all!

Lovely Shots Mat.

Hi joove.......was able to get about 8-10 metres from some of them. The females and pups didn't seem to be but in the past I've had bulls do mock charges at me when I've 'invaded their space'.

Thanks Steve. Yeh, always watching. There's kind of an imaginery line in the sand at about 8 metres that when you cross, they will cough, bark and hiss at you and then high-tail it. Also ...... THEY STINK, something wicked !!!

Thanks a lot Tony.

Beautiful shots all--especially the 1st--I can hear her all the way over here in Seattle.

I really the expression in pic #2

Thanks RW. Yeh, they make some hard case sounds, especially when fighting.

Thanks TB.

Lovely series, Matt. The models are terrific.
