There have been sea lions - 1 to 3 at a time - hanging out at the small local beach often over the past couple of months. The Department of Conservation recently added signs to alert people. It’s a good idea, since there are plenty of passers by on the cycle way or in camper vans and I guess many are unfamiliar with these creatures! Local dog walkers should already know what to do.

Such a treat to see these animals on a regular basis, sometimes cuddled up together for a snooze 🥰
