A FRIENDLY face has popped up on a west Dorset beach - but the message is for people to observe from a distance and not get too close. A young grey seal, believed to be Sammy who has been a regular visitor to Weymouth Beach over the past year, appeared on Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock, taking an opportunity to lay in the sun and have a rest. Bridport resident Jenny Stewart-Ackroyd saw the seal on Sunday. She said: He was very relaxed and just moved away when the sea would get too close. He seemed happy to sunbathe in the morning sun.
