Spotted a sea lion today
We spotted a sea lion today coasting on by while we were on the beach in south Devon.
He very often is spotted although never as early as this time of the year.
Photos not great but I gave it a shot.

Definitely a Grey Seal Jols 
The long roman nose is an indicator. The other seal we get in our waters is the Harbour Seal. Not sure if there are other species in the UK? I think that's all we get here in Ireland though. Sea Lions we don't get 
Sea Lions are very different to seals:
