Seal in the Thames?

Extremely common.there is absolutely thousands of them on the sand banks and they will migrate miles up rivers in pursuit of food even to the point of pure freshwater

thank you shuck

How about dolphins? Would they be there on porpoise?

Seals everywhere, one nearly had my bait whilst fishing off the South coast, thought it was a mermaid at first

Im from norfolk..there is probably x50 as many seals about now as there was when i was a young un..probably mainly feeding on herring..coz the country dont eat them no more..they smell and are good for you..much better to get an elephant leg kebab and narrow your arteries

Killer Whale pods off the Scottish coast along with loads of dolphins.

That's a Porbeagle which is common to British waters.

In the Nene we have seals , harbour porpoise and the occasional dolphin . Whales are a rarity but do turn up unfortunately . .

i caught crabs last weekend

He's off to Russia now to have a smooch with the England reserve left back.

For anyone who didn't see the picture of the porbeagle on another thread, it was perfectly ok and set free.

I think they were tagging them or something.

You get worse off the Uruguayan coast

You can easily spot one from the webbed feet. The seals are also readily identifiable.

In 1688, while attempting to flee to France, James II destroyed his Great Seal, apparently by throwing it into the River Thames in the hope that the machinery of government would cease to function.

James's successors, William III and Mary II, used the same seal matrix in their new Great Seal. This may have been a deliberate choice, in order to imply the continuity of government. A new obverse was created, but the reverse was crudely adapted by inserting a female figure beside the male figure. When Mary died, the obverse returned to the design used by James II, while the female figure was deleted from the reverse. Thus, William III used a seal that was identical to James II's, except for changes to the lettering and coat of arms.

So probably James II then.

'Seal in the Thames?' Why, does it need sealing?
