Freddie Mercury was rescued on 14th November 2012 My name is Freddie Mercury and I was rescued from Cape Cornwall by members of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue team (BDMLR) who very kindly gave me a lift to the seal sanctuary where I am currently in the hospital, I´m still in intensive care but am feeling a bit better than I did. I had wounds to all my flippers and a big wound on my left eye. The nice animal care team are teaching me to eat fish. They are also giving me antibiotics and anti-inflamatories as I may have lung worm. I am now about 6 weeks old and have been here since 14th November 2012. Update - 25th November 2012 : This photo was taken of me on 23rd November 2012 in the main hospital. Click here to see another photo of Freddie. Update - 31st December 2012 : This photo of was taken of me on 27th December 2012. Click here to see further photos. I´m currently in the convalescence pool and putting on lots of weight. My flipper tag number is 113 (red). Update - 8th February 2013 : I was returned to the wild along with Pixie on 7th February 2013.
