Cape Fur Seals, Pelican Point

Tommy had warned earlier in the day that the forecast was for the wind to pick up in the afternoon and he wasn’t wrong. On arriving at the Point and winding down the windows the wind howled through the car bringing sand with it. Quickly realising the error of our ways we kept the windows facing the wind shut. The seals reminded me very much of the Grey Seals at home on the Lincolnshire and Norfolk coasts. Reminding myself that the best vantage point to photograph them would be from the ground I stepped outside and immediately got a mouthful of sand. Using the car as a windshield and what is normally a waterproof rain cover for my camera and lens which provided some protection, I was able to watch the seals lying down.
