AN inquisitive seal was caught on camera during a visit to the Stone Pier in Harwich.

The popular seal, who is regularly spotted in the waters round Harwich, bobbed up to look at the camera when resident Ashley Cole started filming.

The seal then takes a break on the banks while the camera is rolling, looking like he is enjoying the attention.

Take a look at Ashley's video below.

It's not just residents in Harwich that have been treated to a visit from a seal.
