High seas at the weekend send many of our New Zealand Fur Seals (Kekeno) to seek shelter on land. I don't know how this one got on to this ledge - the distance down to the rocks is about 2 metres although it looks closer in the photo. Each time it flapped it's flipper I feared it would fall off. The reddish brown colour of its fur is natural - it was not injured.

I'm not sure how this seal got up on that rock, unless he rode a high surf when the tide came in! Good find and capture.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
Good thing you didn't spook him. He might have... fallen out of bed!

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
What a well spotted take, and so different, hopefully it did not get injured from being in such a position. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Those rocks below have some sharp edges. The poor seal can get hurt trying to get down. An unusual and good find and capture Lyn.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Looks like it is putting its seal of approval on the rocks, LE.
It blends in so well.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Fabulous photograph and what a smart kekeno! It picked a spot to rest that would provide it with absolute security from predators and other pesky seals.
Amazing image, Lyn!

Lyn, think that Thad is right with his comment.
Hope that it can return to the sea safely.
Perfect find and well captured. A rare image too!!
