Bearded Seal at Victoria Pier, Lerwick, Shetland Islands

It was definitely the highlight of the season in Lerwick, the capital of the Shetland Islands. This bearded seal, a young female, usually located farther north, had taken up summer residence on the Victoria Pier in the heart of the city in May/June 2018. It was there for a few weeks before continuing on his way, during which time he made the headlines in local newspapers and in conversations.

 

C'était définitivement l'attraction du moment à Lerwick, la capitale des Shetland. Ce phoque barbu, une jeune femelle, que l'on trouve normalement bien plus au nord, avait pris ses quartiers d'été sur le Victoria Pier, en plein centre-ville en mai/juin 2018. Il y a passé quelques semaines avant de poursuivre sa route, pendant lesquelles il a fait la une des journaux locaux et des conversations.
