A SEAL has been spotted enjoying its lunch in the Mersey in Latchford.

The cute creature was caught on camera by Chris Ashton this afternoon, Thursday, as it had a bite to eat and a swim.

Chris said: "I was having my daily walk approx 12pm and as I approached Kingsway Bridge I caught a glimpse of it on the Cardinal Newman side of the bridge.

"It then came up with its lunch."

Last month, the cute creature was spotted in the Mersey near Riverside Retail Park, trying to swim up the weir while battling the current.
