The Marine Life rescue unit were called to investigate a sighting of an 'unwell' seal ashore in Southbourne on Tuesday morning, but the marine mammal swam away.
It was advised that the seal was probably digesting a large meal, however another seal sighting occurred this afternoon near the Harvester on Durley Chine Beach.
The beast remained in the shallows for two hours before swimming out to sea as a crowd gathered.
