Seal in the clear water - taken from above

Watch: Friendly seal off the south coast of the Isle of Wight

There is a new celebrity visitor in Bonchurch and yesterday (Monday) they were captured on video by friend of News OnTheWight, Steve from Isle of Wight Drone.

Steve saw the seal while paddle boarding past Bonchurch and pulled into the bay to capture the footage below.

Another seal, or maybe the same one, was also spotted the day before at Rocken End by Mike Wilson (see his video below).

Bonchurch visitor
The footage is only short, but it’s such a treat to see the seal from above, as well as seeing just how clear and beautiful the sea is!

Whilst on our evening walk along the shoreline in Bonchurch last night, we also spotted the seal, bobbing in and out of the water.
