WOW! What a surprise, and what a way to end the year, with a Walrus, showing really well in Scarborough Harbour! Normally, I would be attempting to capture the last sunrise of 2022, but rain, heavy cloud and dull conditions stopped that idea! However, reports came in overnight, with images, of a Walrus on a jetty in Scarborough Harbour! Motivation clicked in and dash in the dark to Scarborough ensued, with an ultimate of a life tick, an unbelievable Walrus, literally a few feet away! The Walrus had plenty of protection from the police and volunteers from the BDMLR, Sea Life Centre et.al. Local street lighting gave some illumination but the following images were taken in very dull light. Investigations believe the Walrus is Thor, who has been hanging around on the south coast for a while. I'm glad there wasn't a spectacular sunrise!
All images taken handheld with Sony RX10 Mk4.

He was fantastic! He had a good sleep before leaving late afternoon and heading out to sea. He was well protected whilst resting. I wonder where he will be seen next?
ReplyDeleteHe may be heading back to Arctic. Could be a Norway stop off next. They will be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteHope he makes it safely! Hopefully not via Norway, they euthanised Freya😢
ReplyDeleteThe internet story is that he 's 100 miles up the coast at Blyth now. Goodness hope he stays clear of Norway.
