An injured seal pup rescued in the Conwy area is set to be released back into the wild early next year.

The pup was discovered on the opposite shore from Conwy town on November 1st.

He was struggling with an eye injury and there was no sign of his mother.

RSPCA inspectors took the pup to the Welsh Mountain Zoo, where he was hand-fed and given antibiotics as part of his rehabilitation.
