| Ray, Fatmina, Lizzie, Sheba, Altanta and Pumpkin are looking after the new rescued seal pup Superman and teaching him how to compete for his fish during feeding times in the convalescent pool.
From looking at the photo below, Superman doesn´t seem to want to come out to play. He rather hide in the nursery pool.

| Marlin, Flipper (photo below), Pumpkin and Yulelog are enjoying spooky halloween week.
In September Flipper, Snoopy and Pumpkin had all undergone operations. Pumpkin was castrated, Flipper and Snoopy both had lenses removed from their eyes in the hope it might restore some vision for them. After their operations, these three spent a few days in the nursery pools recovering with special extra TLC from the Animal Care Team.

We are in the middle of grey seals breeding and pupping season - which for the Sanctuary signals the busiest time of the year for the Animal Care Team.
For over 55 years the Sanctuary have been rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing those pups from our local coastline that find themselves in trouble, whether it be eye problems, respiratory infections and malnourishment to broken bones, pollution-related problems and being separated from their mother too soon.
Just like to remind you that if you discover a seal pup that is in distress or alone, please call the Seal Sanctuary on 01326 221361 and/or the BDMLR on 01825 765546.
DO keep your distance;
DON´T attempt to handle the pup;
DON´T attempt to put the pup in the sea;
DON´T ignore the situation;
DO tell the appropriate organisation.
