Well caught mid swallow, not something I recall seeing before with a wild seal.

I wonder what species of fish it was?

PS whereabouts did you see this?

Ah! an opportunistic seal getting some freebies thrown to 'him' ?

Nope, it was diving down and coming back up with them. I watched it do the same thing 3 times in the space of 15 minutes

My guess would be a Whiting.

That's a good shout

Thanks, it seems to have very large eyes in relation to its body size!

Great shot. Looks almost surreal.
