The local diner

This seal amazed me - he had figured out how to clamber into an enormous fishing trawler to steal fish. He managed to get on top of the massive tyres they hang down the sides of the concrete wharf to protect the boats, and as the trawler moved to and fro with the waves and wind, the seal timed it to jump aboard when the boat was close enough

A truly remarkable capture. Well done Desi.

Amazing image which undoubtedly has commercial value... and I do hope the seal got the good meal he deserved!

@s4sayer @nodrognai @vignouse @narayani @meotzi @ludwigsdiana Thank you so much. Yes I do believe the seal got his meal ... although the fishermen sorting their nets and catch aboard the trawler tried to chase him away, he stayed on the big tyre hanging down the concrete wall, and a little later when the waves brought the trawler close enough again and the fishermen distracted, the seal was up to his tricks again.
