Injured seal pups returned to wild after treatment from RSPCA

The RSPCA have returned six seals back to the water after treatment:

Six seal pups have been returned to the water after being treated for injuries at the RSPCA's centre in Norfolk.

They were all released at Sutton Bridge - on the Lincolnshire-Norfolk border - on Monday, from where they could make their way out into The Wash.

The common seal pups included Goblin, who was rescued from Lowestoft in August with an infected flipper.

Another pup was treated for wounds around her muzzle believed to have been caused by dogs in Happisburgh.

The other four were called Kraken, Womble, Ent and Buckbeak. This year the RSPCA's East Winch centre are naming their seals after mythical creatures.
