VIDEO: Victoria volunteer captures ‘awesome’ elephant seal birth - Terrace Standard

A Victoria volunteer channeled his inner David Attenborough when he filmed an elephant seal birth on a little island off East Sooke.

“It was really awesome. Sometimes you get so involved in the photography that you miss out. So, for example, the first time I did it was still photography, and then I didn’t appreciate it until I looked at the photos. For the second part, I got set up all properly and took the video so I was able to just stand there and enjoy it.”

“So first thing is this morning, I was down gently moving sea lions off the pier because it becomes dangerous for them if they’re on their low tide,” Sterling said. This current stint is set to last six months – usually, they last two to three, but Sterling jumped at the chance to stay longer and catch the breeding season.
