On New Years day 2009 I paddled from Mudeford up to the tidal limit of both the Stour and the AvonI was fortunate enough to have a close encounter with a seal just at the entrance to the Avon (SZ 162 922) – he popped up next to the sea kayak, gave me a few welcoming snorts and swam around and under the boat before departing. I was so suprised that I forgot to get my camera out - but the above is fairly close
I don’t think I have ever seen seals in Christchurch Harbour before?
