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.”

The seal was spotted on the New Bedford riverbank at Sutton Gault earlier this month on June 5.
Elliot added: “I’ve seen seals in the rivers around here before, but I haven’t seen one that close for a good few years on the riverbank.
