I've got company!

My first blip! Bit of a grey day to get a good introductory photo but it shows three of my swimming buddies this morning. Four seals in total showed up. One seemed quite shy and kept a fair distance, two were just keeping an eye on the situation but one was getting brave and swam alongside me at about 8m. Sometimes she* would swim just below the surface, I wonder if she was thinking that I couldn't see her?
*Randomly assigned gender but really an attempt to subvert gender stereotype of male courage.
