| Winterton Seal
Hospital (Save Our Seals) 7th December 2007 - Checking a seal pup on local beach |
| The colony has slowly increased in size and we counted well over 100 seals on the beach during our daily check. The colony is made up of a mixture of nursing and pregnant females with a growing numbers of seal pups. A selection of males can be seen off shore, plus there are few dominant males, spread out through the colony protecting their group of females from other adult male seals. | 
|
| This pup, which approximately was 2.5 - 3 weeks old, was found amongst the dunes, it had managed to make it's way onto one of the paths used by people keen to view the colony from a distance, without disturbing the seals. The seal pup will be monitored over the next few days to make sure it gets back onto the beach. |
