I mentioned my binocular and phone trick. Later, we followed the beachmaster who was now on a mission, and found her with a couple of community police officers ripping the shit out of the divers. The boats, suddenly being yelled at by a whole cliff of Welsh people, sailed away. (That last one was, I swear, an eighty year old woman.) “Bloody move you fucks, you’ll scare 'im away again!” “He’s the size of an 'orse, bois, can’t you see 'im from here?!” “MOVE AWAY.”Īt which point, the whole fucken cliff starts joining in, because Welsh people are Like That. “YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW,” yelled the beachmaster. MOVE AWAY.”Įveryone on the cliff went silent. There are Welsh Marine Life Rescue volunteers everywhere, and one woman immediately yelled “YOU ARE TOO CLOSE. Two dinghies with divers aboard suddenly turned up and sailed right up to them. Today I tried using a binocular over my phone camera with was extremely stressful and moderately successful - and I have two pieces of NEWS.
So trick learned, I guess.Īnyway, since I’ve apparently become Tumblr’s primary Wally journalist, I thought I’d go for a cheeky visit again today so I could report on their condition FIRST HAND (you’re all welcome, I have incredible integrity). Which did work long enough to get the boat out, and then Wally clambered back aboard barely minutes later and fell asleep again.
But a ton of overgrown seal has no fear of brooms, so the attempt is not entirely successful under time-sensitive conditions while canoeists are actively drowning 10 miles away. Here is the problem with that scenario: an underwhelmed Welsh coast guard basically views 2,500 lbs of predatory sea potato as a sort of ornery gelatinous cow, and so will try to do this with, and I am not making this up, a broom. Here is the problem with 2,500 lbs of predatory sea potato using the slipway of a lifeboat station as a spa bed: sometimes, canoeists get in trouble near Stackpole and need rescuing and then some underwhelmed Welsh coast guard is going to have to try to chase said predatory sea potato off the slipway so they can launch the boat. If you would like your own Wally mask, contact her here! They sell for £5, of which £1 goes to Welsh Marine Life Rescue. The photographer of this picture, one Amy Compton who has been Wally’s official photographer since the start, has been making these delightful Wally masks (inset). Mostly this has been shells, but three days ago he upped his fashion game by wearing this starfish: He has surfaced multiple times wearing accessories in his moustache. His delinquent ways have continued - he has now attempted to climb onto multiple buoys (all unsuccessfully) and at one point nearly got a mooring rope stuck around his neck.He is rapidly gaining weight, and is still giving no cause for concern to either of the organisations watching him (which are the RSPCA a bit and Welsh Marine Life Rescue a lot this is funny though because a walrus is so far outside of the wheelhouse of either of those organisations like we’re all just guessing here, lads).But what has Wally been up to the past few days? The Western Telegraph has opted for male pronouns, and is being very firm that Wally is male, although other news outlets are still all over the place. It also features a video of some Welsh people chatting about Wally, including a child whose first language is very clearly Welsh and by the end of his part is struggling to think of things to say about the walrus in English. This story on Wales Online claims she’s believed to be male, but then uses female pronouns. Her gender is still a bit of a mystery but we seem to be leaning female.The current theory as to how she got here is that she fell asleep on an ice floe that drifted south, but she’s not bothered about returning yet.She is the southern-most walrus ever spotted in the wild!.She has a scar on one flipper but it’s long-healed and doesn’t seem to bother her.She was previously in Ireland, and then secluded beaches in Pembrokeshire, but has really taken a shine to Tenby, which is a delightful village.She is named after Where’s Wally because she is hard to spot.The English went back home and Wally came back to Tenby! We stan a true Welsh icon, folks.
