“She is very, very poorly and only 11kg.”
“She's about 2 weeks older than Faulkner who arrived yesterday and is much bigger despite the age difference.”
“We are really worried for her as she is so poorly.”
Early hours of this morning GSPCA Head of Marine Mammals Geoff George patiently waited at Guernsey harbour for a new arrival.
Just after 630am the paper boat arrived with not only the newspapers, but also a young grey seal pup.
