Description
There were several images before this of the trouble maker heckling and barking smack at the sunbathers. In this strip of three we have a Harbor seal cordially join the group while the not so cordial circles and taunts.
Top image shows the new comer swimming onto the scene, and our trouble maker treading water.
In the center image our cordial seal joins the group. As the seal climbs out of the water. The seal already sunbathing sizes up the situation.
Bottom image we see that being cordial can get you a spot on the rocks hassle free. Now check out the trouble maker(may have to zoom for it), slipping between the rocks behind the two seals lower left. After taunting for a while he thought to try and out flank the other, but the tide was to low for that and he would return to the frontal assault.
More to come from this encounter. The link below will take you to the last image in this series. To see more recent postings please visit the gallery. A great weekend to all

I love it. Seals always look so cute and cuddly, but I bet then can inflict some vicious bites. I anxiously await the rest of the series.
This series of pictures tells quite a story! Great captures!

Fascinating dynamics going on here. Great picture series! Maybe the "troublemaker" is a former mate? Whose side are YOU on?
