Big surprise! Our first common seal pup born premature at least 3 days ago, weighing just 5kgs, found on Rerwick beach. Frankie is going to be a real challenge, but he looks like a wee fighter. So fingers crossed. Please visit hillswickwildlifesanctuary.org/donate/ if you would like to help.
We released our two common seal pups Izzy and Lucy this week, three months after they were rescued. Now four times the weight when they arrived at the sanctuary, they now have enough in reserve while they learn to catch their own food. #selkie #commonseal #harbourseal #wildlife
Our two common seal pups Izzy and Lucy are ready for the wild. We just had to get Lucy to eat fish independently. She’s learned at last, and they’re both big and fat so they’re ready! Not long to go now. #selkie #commonseal #harbourseal #wildlife
Our two peerie selkie pups getting used to life in the big pool. Izzy has outpaced Lucy and gone from being the smallest to the biggest of the pair. She’s also the first to start eating fish independently - it can be a bit messy! #selkie #sealpup #commonseal #harbourseal
