hidden waterfalls and baby seals...

Sarah and i decided to head down to a waterfall where you can sometimes find seal pups playing at this time of year. Unfortunately there were no seals near the waterfall but it was still a beautiful setting.


We headed down to the coast and sure enough found a huge colony of New Zealand fur seals. Males arrive at breeding colonies from October, they have access to around 12 females. When a pup is born it is about 60cm in length, it will suckle from the mum for the first 6-12 days.They were adorable, we tokk about 100 pictures and didnt want to leave.
