A seal has been entertaining people in Lewes after swimming several miles along the River Ouse from the coast.
The harbour seal was first spotted on Tuesday morning by dog-walkers on the river bank.
Wildlife rescuers from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) went to the scene to ensure the seal was in good health.
It disappeared overnight but reappeared on Wednesday and was seen splashing about in the river and eating fish.
Trevor Weeks, of BDMLR and the East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service, said: "The seal seems to be having fun and playing in the water a lot.
"Medics will continue to monitor from a distance and are asking people to take care when using the river or walking along its banks to ensure they do not disturb the seal."
Anyone who sees a seal or other marine mammal and is concerned about its welfare is urged to contact British Divers Marine Life Rescue on 01825 765546.
