The seal can come and go whenever it pleases.colnick wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 7:13 pmThere is a set level that determines when the entrance will be artificially opened. From memory it was last opened in June and closed again in August. Normally it stays open longer and is re-opened more often, but the prolonged drought this time meant that it has been closed for almost eight months because the water simply took ages to build up to the trigger level. Recent fishing has been unusually difficult for Bemm as a result.
Hope that bloody seal went out with the flow!
It just has to waddle over the sand bar. The mouth doesnt need to be open for it to go in and out
