A sea lion on the beach at Fossil point, Farewell Spit. We wondered whether this was another sick creature (we have a habit of finding them) as it seemed irritated by flies and was thrashing itself around a bit. We approached slowly and then remembered that sea lions can run at a rate of knots and we shouldn't tempt it (apparantly if you get between it and the sea). Anyway, after a few minutes it headed down the beach for relief from the flies in the sea.
