The RNLI says it encountered a 'special guest' when the grey seal played outside its station in Teddington Lock
The grey seal was first spotted by lifeboat crews and made its way to Eel Pie Island
A seal surprised lifeboat crews after it emerged from the River Thames and hopped on to a kayak mount. The RNLI said it encountered a "special guest" when the grey seal played outside its station in Teddington Lock in south-west London on Friday. Grey seal populations in the River Thames are growing, according to the Zoological Society of London .
Amateur photographer Tobias Handschuh also documented the seal "eating a massive fish" later in the day."Our station is busy but being this close to nature is definitely one of the perks of the job," a RNLI spokeswoman added.
