A group of people stopped and watched for half an hour as a seal swam in the Mersey.
Lauren Francis told the ECHO she was out walking with two of her friends down near Festival Gardens in Aigburth when she noticed something moving in the water. The 18-year-old from Dingle said at first they thought it was just a log floating but after watching it for several minutes saw it was moving in the water.
Lauren said soon there were several people watching and others came up to her and asked if it was a seal. She said they watched the seal for around half an hour as it bobbed up and down in the water.
