The sun has been shining on Kent and what better way to make the most of it than by darting to the beer garden?

And it appears the pull of a pint doesn't just work on thirsty humans with two seals caught soaking up the rays outside pubs in the past two days.

These stunning shots were snapped by Mike Rogers at 5pm today.

The seal was rolling in the mud along Faversham Creek while enjoying an unseasonably balmy spring day.

He appeared just yards from The Shipwright's Arms and certainly seemed to like the attention of enthralled punters.

Yesterday, Sarah Brickwood took this wonderful shot of a harbour seal cruising through the waters of the River Medway and past the Malta Inn.

He was soon let through to the tidal side of Allington Lock.

Although not their common habitat harbour seals are regularly spotted along the Medway and in the Thames, where the Zoological Society of London recorded 2,866 grey seals and 797 harbour seals last year.

Last spring, Bradley the Seal spent three months in the non-tidal section of the Medway before eventually swimming through the lock and out to sea.

She – for despite her name she was soon identified as female – enchanted riverside crowds between April and June, although they were warned to steer clear as seals do have a nasty bite.
