Public advised against disturbing \'abandoned\' pups
The Manx Wildlife Trust have reported spotting the first newborn seal pups of this season.
Eight were seen by the end of last week around the Calf of Man, with mothers returning to the same area to give birth, as in previous years.
The Trust warns members of the public against approaching seemingly abandoned seal pups which may be found on the island's beaches; they can be aggressive if disturbed and their mothers will also abandon their pup if it has been unduly disturbed, so it’s important to keep dogs away from them too.
It is usual for the mothers to leave them alone for a while on the beach, so there is no need to be alarmed if they appear to be on their own.
However, if you are concerned that a pup has been abandoned or is injured, please contact the MSPCA who will assess the situation.
