Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand. I know Lesley had an update but she ran into technical difficulties. Hopefully she'll be able to resolve them soon, I feel for ya.Team Billand found da Benny RE74 /E43 snoozing under a tree at plains. He was alone and dry indicating he had been there for a while. Team Billand was thrilled to find him since it has been a while. Benny is looking good, no new wounds, that were visible. He's just looking like an old man since he is going on 18 this August.
Team Billand stayed an hour with him, mostly because it had been a long time. just before leaving, he was acting like there was another seal around. He started to lift head up and down, even leaped to the right, but Team Billand never spotted another seal.During their lunch, they got word of another seal at Plains, so they headed back. This time they found Buster boy RV08 snoozing by the guards. He was very alert, flipped over looking around.
Team Billand noted that the beach erosion is pretty significant. All their years they have never seen it this bad, pipes sticking out exposed, all the rocks and concrete exposed.
Then Team Billand saw a seal to the right in the seal inlet area. They spotted the cookie scar and bleach mark on his butt. They also noticed for the first time a natural bleach on his left fore flipper.

They also found Kawena RH36 who was in the same spot as yesterday. She was sleeping, tags showing, her hooking scar visible. They did notice she had small bite marks or some kind wound on her hind flippers, nothing serious.
Kawena is looking peaceful and thankfully the none of the boys bothered her today.
