Picture of a seal on a beachIt was first spotted at the foot of the Kilchoman dunes by some people walking their dog (luckily their dog was on a leash). Having been disturbed this seal then slowly made its way across the beach back to the safety of the water. Seals aren’t the fastest on land, so it took it quite some time.
