Did you spot the seal on Te Whiti Park
A seal found sunning itself on a Lower Hutt cricket pitch was tempted back into the water with sausages.
Cricketers were bowled over when they spotted the animal after arriving at Waiwhetu's Te Whiti Park about 8.20am on Monday to set up for a match.
Police said they and the Department of Conservation (Doc) were called to assist the seal, believed to weigh about 90kg.
While a Doc ranger was still on the way, police officers coaxed the seal into the Waiwhetu stream, which runs along the north side of the park, with some snags. It was last spotted heading downstream, towards the Hutt River mouth, which opens to the sea.
