| BLYTH - Rescued 20th October 2004 |
 | Blyth was rescued by the SPRA (Society for the Protection and Rehoming of Animals) on 20th October from Westward Ho and taken to a veterinary hospital to stabilise his condition overnight. In the morning he was transported by BDMLR Co-ordinators Dave Jarvis and Tim Baines down to the Seal Sanctuary. On arrival, Blyth was given a thorough clinical assessment and, other than being very malnourished, has very few wounds or injuries. Within a day Blyth was tucking into fish and the Animal Care Team think he must be feeling better as he is the noisiest seal in the hospital! |
| Update 29th December 2004 -
Blyth is one of three seal pups with hat tags, his hat tag number is "10". Blyth and the other two pups, Roskilly and Itchen, should be ready for release soon.
