Just north of Kaikoura, where the Southern alps come down to meet the sea, about a 150m walk up into the bush, is a place where mother seals & their pups climb up along a mountain stream to this waterfall.The babies play here, under the watchful eyes of one or two adults, while the rest of the mothers go out to sea to fish for the day.
The seal pups are only a couple of months old at this time of year and are still too small to go to nursery.
But the short climb up was worth it just for this view.
holy cow. unreal, mary!
