Often during the autumn months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.

During and after stormy weather the GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.
