Seal Survey - HoneyComb Rock

Today we drove out 2 and half hours along the east coast of the north island away from Wellington. We arrived at Flat point, and then drive another 2 km along the beach where we all got out to start the walk looking for the seals to count. All we needed to do was count the seals in a certain area. At the same time see if they were male, female, juvenile or a pup. As yesterday 4 people had left the group we had 4 new people with us. All from England again, all 18 years, with the exception of one man being 58.



We were split up into 2 groups each having a different section of the beach to count the fur seals. Some of the seals that we saw and counted. The seals where mainly male seals.
