Rescuers from South Essex Wildlife Hospital were called out after a seal was found 18 miles inland on 21 July!
A dog walker reported a lone harbour seal pup lying on a muddy bank in Wickford next to a small section of the River Crouch in Essex. This area of river is far too shallow to normally sustain seals and lead vet Tom Linsel set off to look.
Unfortunately, the original caller had had to leave the scene and, by the time Tom arrived 40 minutes later, the pup was nowhere to be seen. With no chance of survival if left alone, Tom searched through the river bank for more than an hour before finally hearing the faint sounds of a crying seal almost 500m away from the original location - in a park.
The organisation added: “The tiny and very muddy pup was then recovered and brought back to our hospital in Orsett.
“Once back at the hospital, the pup was cleaned and checked for any signs of injury before starting a course of rehydration and medication. He is now recovering well and is already getting to know three other pups in our seal hospital!”
