| We received calls about a seal with a yellow tag, which appeared too tame, from early May 2009, but every time we went out to rescue it, the seal would have vanished. But on 2nd July 2009, the seal hospital received an early morning call from a Scratby resident called Peter reporting a seal on the beach, so we asked if he could stay near the seal to stop dogs from frightening it back into the sea. A seal rescue volunteer rushed to Scratby and with the help of a few other locals, managed to rescue approximately 90lb of harbour seal with a yellow tag on its back flipper. We believe the seal is approximately 3 – 5 years old. “Wanda” (as we have temporarily named her) was taken back to the Winterton Seal Hospital where she was checked over for injuries and given a big breakfast of herring and promptly fell asleep. |

 | Update: August 2009 - These photos of Wanda were taken on 26th July 2009, she has now been moved to outside pool. Unless Wanda learns to be more guarded, the rest of her days could be spent in a large sanctuary. She was previously rehabilitated by the RSPCA at East Winch. Wanda's story was featured in the Great Yarmouth Mercury Newspaper on 9th July 2009. |
