He said: “When I first spotted the seal, I was concerned initially it was hurt.
“I didn’t get too close – but it seemed completely fine and healthy. In fact, it wasn’t interested in me being stood there at all.
“It didn't have any major gashes or scratches and was simply sunbathing on the riverbank, enjoying the warm weather.”
