Sarah was doing a seal survey on behalf of the Cornwall Seal Group Research Group and noticed that this juvenile seal (right) had scarring and a red rear flipper tag. Sarah sent a photo of the seal when she got home to Sue Sayer of the CSGRT, who recognised the markings as Shirley, a pup released just a few weeks ago.
