Fury as seal knocked off favourite sunbathing spot as brute rams him with boat

Windo the seal glowers “incredulously” at a brute using his boat to ram him from a dinghy he likes to sunbathe on.

The friendly fella has become popular with tourists and locals he waves to from his perch in Dartmouth, Devon.

But one man seems to want him to move on and after knocking Windo into the sea, he was pictured ramming the dinghy again as the stunned seal tried to get back on.

Local Andy Kyle shared snaps, saying: “This is him looking, incredulously, at the perpetrator, who is taking aim.

"Difficult to know what the guy's problem with Windo is."

He added: "It seems that almost everybody loves Windo the Seal, and why not?

"He's a charming chap who over the last six days has happily obliged by posing for pictures for all manner of inquisitive rubberneckers.

"But there's always one, isn't there."
