AS THE weather warms up, a flurry of sea life is returning to the surface of the Dorset coastline.

The following snapshots, taken by eagle-eyed photographer Colin Garrett, show a seal in full delight after catching a fish out in Newton's Cove, Weymouth.

The amazing mid-feast pictures were taken on Tuesday evening (March 22).

Mr Garrett said: "I was just out walking my border collie Rutzen.
"I used a Nikon camera to get the photos. Weymouth's got masses of interesting wildlife, above and below the waves.
"I'm really pleased how it came out. Fortunately I was in the right place at the right time."

The seal can be seen swimming in the water under the heat of the sun, nibbling at the fish, before taking one last gulp and swallowing it whole.
