Kaikoura I

Posted by Adiemus (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 1 February 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Fur seals have returned to Kaikoura in the past 15 - 20 years, and are now a real part of the tourist scene. You can swim with the seals, you can look at the seals, but never, ever stand down-wind from them! They have a thick and very smelly oil in their fur that rubs off on the rocks, forming a stain. Very slippery if you stand on it.

Hi guys!
This year I'll be putting up fewer shots, but hopefully improving the quality at the same time. Sort of a 'best of' if you like.
This community is terrific in so many ways - I love it even if I don't often comment. The people on here make it a great place to be.
I'm also writing a health-related blog - if you're interested, hop on over to http://healthskills.wordpress.com/
and make yourself known!
