Photography Tips
The pictures were taken with a 28-200mm zoom lens. At low tide, the seals lay on the other side of the river. I think that at high tide the entire estuary is under water, the entire sandy shore and the stone dam from where the pictures were taken. I don't know where the seals are then. So it is definitely worth taking photos at low tide.
