Update on the tagged common seal reported in my previous blog. The seal has been identified by its unique number tag on its flipper. It is a male yearling, which has been named Twinkle.
The seal was taken to the RSPCA on the 13/6/10 from Lowestoft where it was rescued, weighing 21 kg. It was successfully released into the Wash on 18/8/10 weighing 35 kg.
The Sussex coastline is made up of a wide diversity of habitats rich in a wealth of fascinating wildlife. This blog represents a selection of some of my most interesting encounters and observations ranging from tide pool life to dolphins. Blog entries will be extracts from my work as a biological recorder and environmental educator.
