Paddle boarders in Weymouth, Dorset made a new friend.

Weymouth's resident grey seal stopped for a rest by climbing onto one of the paddle boards where it was quite happy to relax.

Simon Howe, who took the photos and shared to his Instagram account @showephotography, said: "Although I normally encourage people to keep their distance and don't generally approach wildlife, on this occasion, I believe the seal was trying to get to its haul out spot on the beach, but with so many people around, it wasn't available.

"So this time, a few minutes rest on a paddle board was probably a welcome respite."
