Oh! I am sooo envious of you. A wonderful shot and it's a pleasure to meet you.
 
:bounce: What an exciting experience this must have been, Richard!!! o:) They look really interested in you!!! ;)

Great to "meet" you and your "gang"!!! ;) :t:
 
Thank you all. Getting close was wonderful, and rather more pleasant than getting close to the 2 elephant seals you can see behind my head. They spent most of their time just burping andf f*rting, loudly and odourously!
