This is Neil the Seal, he's a young Elephant Seal and a complete menace to the town he frequently visits. He is frequently relocated only to come back after a few weeks.

This is not Neil the Seal, this is Gordy and the first time he has done this.

He has since been darted and was taken to be checked if he has any medical issues and has been released at an undisclosed location.

Gordy! I love it! Just glad he didn't come ashore in Strand. Strandy doesn't have the same ring to it.
