Seal greets swimmer with a kiss

This is the extraordinary moment a wild seal swam up to greet and kiss swimmers at a popular beach.

Tara Lee, 22, was amazed when the friendly seal swam up to her and gave her a cheeky kiss and captured the adorable moment on video.

In the video, the seal quickly lunges towards Tara and plants a kiss on her cheek.

The business development manager was visiting Bell Wharf beach in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, with her friend at around 5.30pm on Sunday, August 25.

Her friend Liz, initially thought she had seen a dog bobbing up and down behind Tara until she took a closer look.
