Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see grey seal pups being born, and the GSPCA are issuing advice today on what to do especially with inclement weather we have seen recently.
We had our first potential call on the weekend and the earliest seal we have rescued in recent years was Jethou Bumblebee who was rescued during the last week of November back in 2012.
In the last two years at the GSPCA we have rescued four Grey Seal Pups in total. Two last Winter Eden and Trinity and the previous year Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois.

Today staff at the GSPCA were overjoyed to wave off Doretta the longest stay rabbit to her new home.
Doretta was brought into the GSPCA for rehomng on the 5th December 2012, which means she has been in need of a loving home for nearly 2 years.
Doretta has seen many rabbits come and go with nearly 200 passing through the Shelter during her time, but today it was her turn.
Doretta has lived out in a pen over looking our pond on Bunny Hop Hill at the GSPCA and has had a lovely time.
