Seal at Earith

There is a seal which comes up the river to Earith (near Huntingdon) every year and often basks on the bank at the bottom of my son's garden.  This year there is a mother and pup (which I presume must be 8 or 9 months old) which have been regularly seen on the bank by Adam and his family, but today there was only one there; I surmise that mother was out fishing whilst the youngster stayed at home, but definitely in the river. I am no expert on seals, but I thought that this one was too pale to be an adult.
