Back towards the start of this blog I gave some
basic information on all the main species we will be studying in our roles on island. Of all those species only the leopard seal has yet to feature so far as they are a winter sighting..... usually! But back on the 19th February we were treated to our first lep of the year!
 |
| Enjoying the sunshine (sun being almost as rare as a lep at the moment!) |
 |
| Taking in the surroundings and looking very prehistoric |
 |
| "My what big teeth you have!" |
 |
| The fur seals are small in comparison, and this lep wasn't a big one for the species either |
 |
| The first lep of the season draws in the local crowd |
It is going to be great seeing these guys around more during winter!
