- It appeared here all morning.

Many call it Göran, we thought it was charming.

My boss and I sat and watched it from the office at Slottsholmen.

It is the best place to spot seals, says Patricia Pettersson, reservation manager at Slottsholmen.

Increased in recent years

But according to Naturum in Västervik, it is not unusual to see seals inside Västervik.

- It has increased in the last four or five years that you can see single individuals inside the castle island.

I think they are looking for food.

There may be a lack of food such as sturgeon and sprat out at sea, so some individuals choose to look for food in other places.

- It could also be a male seal that has left its colony, says Marcus Nord, deputy director at Naturum in Västervik.

On Wednesday, the staff at Slottsholmen had not seen the seal.

- It stays away today, it's too windy, says Patricia Pettersson.
