I thought I would go down to Terrigal on Tuesday 4/8/26 afternoon to see if I could photograph our little visitor waking up and entering the water for a night of fishing.
Here is what I came up with.

Some of my favourite images from yesterday afternoon 31/7/2026 of the little captivating Sub-antarctic Fur Seal at Terrigal .
As the sun went down it was pleasing to see him enter the water and swim around the rocks to the Haven.

All pics were taken with a 800mm lens from outside the exclusion zone , some pics are also cropped.

This time of the year I am fortunate enough to spend a fare bit of time with Terrigal Ocean Tours photographing Humpback Whales.
