Seals, Seals, and More Seals

So far we have been in New Zealand for 6 days.  4 of those days we saw seals.  Seals on the east coast, on the north coast, on the west coast, and in the sea.  Many times you can smell them before you can see them…stinky!  It a good time of the year for seal watching since there are many pups.  Here is one of the cuter sets of pups that we saw near Taranga Bay at Cape Foulwind.

We saw seals fighting/playing with each other and seals sparring with birds as well.

Of course much of the time they just enjoyed sleeping.

The singing was the best…
