We were sitting eating ice cream at the Oak Bay Marina when a boat pulled in right in front of us. Soon after, a harbor seal showed up and then a gull. Both of them seemed to be hoping for fish scraps from the boat. In the past people fed the seals at the marina, but that is no longer allowed.
It was nice to have the seal hang around so we could get a better look. Usually all you see is something like this (from a distance) and then it disappears.
Of course, the other ever present scroungers are the house sparrows. They tend to be in constant motion, making them tricky to photograph despite being so common. The other day one tried to grab a piece of my pastry out of my hand. Usually it's only the gulls that are bold enough to try that.
