Sinclair Head, Wellington

Sinclair Head is an old quarry site near Wellington; it's now partly a marine reserve but there is a 4x4 gravel road that you can walk along for several miles. In the winter months there is a seal colony that stays here to fatten up for the mating season. At this time of year, there was only this one lone seal on a rock, and he didn't look too hot. Maybe it had something to do with being surrounded by breeding pools for mosquitos! I could barely stand there long enough to take this picture!

rocky shores make for good exploring!
