Aussie Fur Seals basking in the sun

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

Had a day trip on the Coorong Lakes down at the mouth or the Murray R and we came across some Southern Fur Seals in the water and basking in the warm sun. There were 1/2-dozen in the water, flip-flopping and playing around, and another 8-10 sunning themselves on a timber construction close to the boating area. 'group' pics don't show 'em up all that well, but this one in particular woke up long enough to stare back at the one-eyed monster staring at him

I have not seen one of these and when we were in Tassie a family are supposed to show up at a spot.
When we got the spot off the boat we got told they left not too long before we got there.
But I would love to have just one of your shots in my folders.

Both sharp but #1 for me. Better eye contact.
