Found by the Postman

[Mups]

Just read about this young Seal pup found by a Postman,  outside someone's front door in Norfolk.  
Doesn't it look sad.   

It was thought she was only about 2 weeks old.
I wonder how on earth it could have got there,  and where its Mum was?

Anyway, she is safe at a sanctuary now,  to gain some weight before being released back to the sea.

Aww, thank you for posting that. I'm glad she is safe and cared for.

Poor baby, hope her mum's OK

[GrannyMac]

Wow, very strange. Thank goodness she's ok now.

There are big seal colonies on the wash and around North Norfolk. It likely got washed away from the colony to the beach and from there to the doorstep. Lucky it survived.

Yes I remember reading about the seals on that coast. The seal probably walked there, poor little thing doesn't look very comfortable so I hope he or she will be OK and find his or her way back to the colony.

Horsey Beach and Scroby Sands come to mind.

There's a seal rescue there somewhere - Hunstanton I think. Sandbanks are the homes to colonies and storms sometimes wash them away. It was possible to walk out to the colony on the Wash when the tide was out. Messy though as the silt is filthy stuff and sets like concrete on wellies.

I also heard that a baby seal had been seen in a town car park, trying to get underneath one of the cars.
Don't know if it was the same one or not,  but I would think, probably.

I wonder if the hard, rough ground it must have crawled over has made the pup's tummy skin raw?

[klondike]

I doubt it. They can crawl on rough rocks.
