Been involved in a seal pup rescue this morning.
This little dude hauled himself out on the beach as I was walking the dog first thing. He looked really small and underweight, not quite moulted yet
I have some friends who work for BDMLR which is a marine wildlife group, so gave them a call and they came down to assess. Luckily he’s not injured, but is very small and vulnerable
He’s been taken to the BDLMR hospital in Newquay where he’ll be fed and then released when he’s up to the right weight.

I think they make an assessment on a number of factors
Where the pup is, what sort of condition its in, whether its in any danger.
I think they generally wait a couple of hours to see if the mother will return, unless the pup is in danger.
On this occasion because of where it was, I would imagine it was in danger of getting harrassed / attacked by dogs as it was in a popular dog walking area. Also the there's a huge swell today and the tide was coming in. If the Pup was weak, he would have been smashed against the rocks
Update on the rescued seal pup
She’s actually a girl seal and they’ve named her rhubarb crumble
She was really underweight 13kg. So they are going to feed her up to 30kg and then she’ll be released.
This is her at the BDLMR hospital in Newquay. They might transfer her to the seal sanctuary in gweek to finish off her rehab.

Sick view and yum munch there brh
The market I was supposed to be at got cancelled today because of the weather, so took the opportunity for a nice stomp with the missus and ended up here.
Been doing some Xmas shopping too. My daughter wants a Quran, so I’ve bought her an English version.
@Sucky will love that lol
Wow amazing stuff
My 10 year old is currently reading it too
In amongst his diary of a Wimpy kid books
Yeah my lass reads those too.
She's really into graphic novels too
And a young author called Libby Scott who writes about her Autism
She wanted a Bible which I got her last year. Same reason she wanted a Quran. She said 'everybody talks about the Bible and the Quran and quote certain parts of it, but almost all of those people have never read either, so I'm going to read them and find out for myself'
^^^ I have got her some other things too, not just Holy texts for Christmas.
Morning. Final business trip of the year. A quick “in and out” to Italy. Won’t miss this when I retire!!
Dog sitting until Friday for friends.
Pissing it down and the dog was under the umbrella for its full walk. Not as stupid as it looks.
