The Lazy Seal is in the water!
The lazy seal that waited for the water to come in and lift it off the island. As the water came high on the rock and they were lifted up they swam away.

This was taken on a boat trip around the Farne Islands from Seahouses.
I have to say I went on the last day of my holiday and IF I had gone on the first day of my holiday I would have gone a few more times.
It was the best trip I have ever gone on.
Please note it does smell!
