Photographer captures more pictures of an ocean-going visitor to Bedford.


Everyone had a flipping great time at the river festival - especially this surprise visitor.

The ocean-going seal is now thought to have stowed through locks up river behind a cruise boat after entering fresh waters near Kings Lynn.

He was spotted on the Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire border on Friday.

And by the weekend he had made his way into Bedford for the 30th anniversary river festival.

There he created quite a stir, being spotted by a number of people.

Our story, broken on this website on Monday, has been followed up by many other media organisations.

And these latest pictures have been sent to us by Bill Davies, of Chapman Close, Kempston. He took them at The Logs, Hillgrounds, on Saturday - many thanks Bill.
