| Fawkes was rescued on 24th December 2009 |

We received a telephone call on Christmas Eve (24th December 2009) from a concerned member of the public who had come across a pup at Godrevy near Hayle.
The team were despatched, at the beach they found a little seal around 8-10 weeks old very malnourished, with a snotty nose and breathing problems. The seal was uplifted and taken back to the Sanctuary and put into isolation 2 where we could do a full clinical assessment. |
