Easter Eggstravaganza
The Easter weekend saw The Scottish SEA LIFE Sanctuary open its doors to hoards of hungry egg hunters!
To raise money for Merlin´s Magic Wand over the Easter weekend the Sanctuary held a two day Easter Eggstravaganza!
|
The two days saw over 50,000 eggs hunted, 658 hot cross buns eaten, 352 pieces of SEA LIFE jewellery made, and 35 litres of warming soup consumed!
Over the two days we had over 30 entrants to our Easter bonnet competition, with 4 lucky winners taking home the converted first prize!
Guests danced the day away to a live band and enjoyed feeds and talks through out the day!

| Nutkins Nature Trail
During your next visit explore the amazing wildlife found in the woods and around the lochside of the Scottish SEA LIFE Sanctuary.
The official opening of the new "Nutkins Nature Trail" will take place shortly.
It is worth a walk to explore and admire the views and all the wonderful wooden crafted wildlife sculptures.
Just click on a thumbnail of your choice below to see some of the photos.

There is even a wildlife hide set on the shores of Loch Creran.
| Resident Seals
Lora, Macey and Pippa are getting on really well. When it comes to feeding time, the staff put a gate across the entrance to both pools, so they can train Macey and Pippa apart.
As you can see from photo below, Lora cannot decide which pool she prefers so you can see her climbing onto the wall.

| If you Discover a Seal Pup in the Wild!
|
DO keep your distance - If the pup has a fluffy white coat it still needs it´s mother. She will only return to feed her pup when she feels it is safe to do so.
DON´T attempt to handle the pup - It is a wild animal, it may bite and can carry infectious diseases. The mother may reject the pup if it is handled.
DON´T attempt to put the pup in the sea - It may be out of the water for a good reason.
DON´T ignore the situation - If the pup is thin, injured or seems unwell (noisy breathing, coughing, runny nose) it probably needs help.
|
 |
|
DO tell an appropriate organisation - Telephone the Scottish SEA LIFE Sanctuary on 01631 720386 or your nearest SSPCA or RSPCA Officer. Wherever you live around the world, check out your nearest rescue organisation. Be ready to get help when you discover an injured animal.
