AND SOME OF THE OTHERS AWAITING RESCUE

THERE are currently four grey seals with frisbees stuck around their neck which aren’t weak enough to be caught yet. They are . . .

GREEN FRISBEE: ‘He was first seen on October 13 and, while he’s not great, he’s not sick enough to catch yet,’ says the RSPCA’s Alison Charles. ‘His head is up, which is good, but he has a neck, which seals should never have — it shows they’ve lost weight. But the injury doesn’t look too infected yet.’

YELLOW FRISBEE: ‘We think we might have two seals with yellow frisbees stuck around their necks,’ says Alison. ‘This is a big old male who looks quite thin and we’re hoping to catch him soon. He was first spotted on October 4 — that’s when we tend to spot them as they come onto the beach to start pupping in November.

BLACK FRISBEE: ‘We think we’ve been seeing this seal since May and I don’t think it’s a plastic frisbee — it looks rubbery. He’s not in great condition but the Friends Of Horsey Seals will keep trying to catch him.’

WHITE FRISBEE: ‘This is the one I’m most worried about,’ Alison explains. ‘We’ve known about her since August and I really don’t like the flesh that’s squishing over the top of the frisbee.’
