Runaway winner this year has to be Wally the Walrus. He does it in style as well, bless him. Hope he gets safely back to his Northern home soon though, too many thoughtless fools getting far too close at times. He does bring a smile to the face though........unless you own a boat😂

    Good to hear he's having another pontoon put together for him in Kerry, similar to the Scillies. Just hope he keeps safe.

    Not so sure the boat owners who have had their boats destroyed by him would agree with you Ttda.

    I saw that he weighs in at approximately 800KGs.😱 I hope anyone thinking about going on a Fish Diet reconsiders.laughing

    Wonder if he'll ever get back home?

    He certainly makes for an interesting insurance claim! A tiny little bit of me can’t help thinking “divine justice”. Not particularly aimed at the poor boat owners, more humanity in general for trashing his Arctic home. Just hope he stays safe and gets back home.

    Can't disagree with you there Ttda.

    He certainly is a big lump. We saw him in the lifeboat gangway at Tenby during his visit to Wales.

    Hope he eventually heads back to his old hunting grounds in the Arctic, although perhaps he has got used to the east life around our coast what with all the titbits of food that floating about in our local waters.

    I see that he has resurfaced a bit closer to home near Iceland. They have a confirmed sighting of him so maybe he's going home for Christmas.
