CURIOUS SEAL COMES UP TO PADDLE BOARDERS OFF THE FLAMBOROUGH COAST

- By TOM KEIGHLEY

A seal of approval!

A PADDLE boarder from Hull has described the moment an inquisitive seal made her feel like a Disney princess, while in the sea off Flamborough.

Natalia Kochalska, 21, was on a day out with her mum, Alicja and a group of friends when they came across a herd of seals.

The keen paddle boarder was out in the sea surrounding Flamborough Lighthouse when an adorable fin-footed visitor came up to her. Luckily she had her phone on her and was able to film and photograph the encounter, which lasted several minutes.

Natalia, who is originally from Poland, explained: “We paddled out to near the Lighthouse and there were loads of seals everywhere. They were popping their heads up, really curious. And this little seal just swam up to me and my mum.
