This poorly little chap was seen today at Godrevy ...

This poorly little chap was seen today at Godrevy with a nasty looking wound. @bdmlr_uk medics were called at 2pm and a team soon arrived to assess and if possible treat. He's around a year old and with his wounds, lethargy and low temperature the decision was made to take him off for care at the sanctuary. Hopefully he'll be back at home in the ocean very soon!
Cheeky girl begging for fish.
We won't feed the seals and would always encourage everyone not to. It encourages them to be in environments more dangerous for them, can be very bad for their diet and is potentially dangerous for humans too, they can be surprisingly fast when snatching for food. You can help our seals by NOT feeding them.
