That itch that you just can’t scratch can be hugely frustrating, though that doesn’t look likely to be an issue for this grey seal, captured gliding its back along the stony seabed off the UK coast recently.

Footage of the seal was posted to Twitter by Ben Burville, a scuba diver who spends plenty of time in the waters close to the Farne Islands in the North Sea.

Burville, who works as a doctor in the coastal town of Amble, Northumberland, by day, has built up a rapport with seals in the area after nearly 20 years diving among them. Credit: Ben Burville via Storyful
