Seal rescue at Secret World
In the last couple of weeks Secret World has rescued another two seals. However, whereas Sandy (see pictures here) was a Common Seal, the two most recent rescues have been Grey Seals.
The first, Gandalf, was rescued from Brean Beach, and although very underweight does seem to be responding well to some TLC. Once he is well enough he will be transported to the Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, Cornwall for the final stage of his rehabilitation , but in the meantime he has now been put into an outside tank . The second, Merlin, was picked up from Weston Super Mare beach looking tired and exhausted, but it is older and heavier than Gandalf and should be healthy enough to go into an outside tank very soon. Sammy the Seal, who Secret World cared for last year, was the charity’s first seal rescue in 21 years of wildlife care, so to have three in such quick succession has taken us all a little bit by surprise.
