    An injured seal at Horsey Gap, Norfolk. The seal is wearing a painful "necklace" of discarded fishing net, possibly from a trawler, this is a common hazard for colonies. Volunteers from a local group called Friends of Horsey Seals monitor the large colony and try to rescue any injured seals who are then taken for treatment to RSPCA East Winch. Rescues have to be quick and timed when the creature is away from the large group for safety of the volunteers as these are wild animals. After recovery they are released back into the wild, so far this season they have rescued 13 seals.

  • Seal of approval: Farne Islands population boom gathers pace. National Trust rangers predict another bumper year as they begin their count of grey seal pups

    Seal of approval: Farne Islands population boom gathers pace. National Trust rangers predict another bumper year as they begin their count of grey seal pups
    Seal of approval: Farne Islands seal population boom gathers pace off the coast of Northumberland, England. National Trust rangers predict another bumper year as they begin their count of grey seal pups.
    The first Atlantic Green seal pups born this season on Brownsman, one of the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast, triggering the start of the seal pup count by National Trust rangers on the islands. The Farnes is home to one of the largest colonies in England and last year seal pup numbers reached a record high of 2,737.
    The rangers, who live on the Islands for nine months of the year, count the seals every four days in the autumn once pupping season begins, weather permitting. Once born, they’re sprayed with a harmless vegetable dye to indicate the week they are born. Using a rotation of three or four colours allows the rangers keep track of the numbers.

    Seal of approval: Farne Islands population boom gathers pace. National Trust rangers predict another bumper year as they begin their count of grey seal pups
    Seal of approval: Farne Islands seal population boom gathers pace off the coast of Northumberland, England. National Trust rangers predict another bumper year as they begin their count of grey seal pups.
    The first Atlantic Green seal pups born this season on Brownsman, one of the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast, triggering the start of the seal pup count by National Trust rangers on the islands. The Farnes is home to one of the largest colonies in England and last year seal pup numbers reached a record high of 2,737.
    The rangers, who live on the Islands for nine months of the year, count the seals every four days in the autumn once pupping season begins, weather permitting. Once born, they’re sprayed with a harmless vegetable dye to indicate the week they are born. Using a rotation of three or four colours allows the rangers keep track of the numbers.
