Often during the winter months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.
After the stormy weather the GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.
We have a number of web pages with wildlife advice or you can call 01481 257261 for help 24/7
