Roskilly’s ice cream delivery driver, Will Pollard, got more than he bargained for when he delivered on Monday 27th September 2004 to Lamorna near Mousehole.
A seal pup just a few weeks old had been found in a cove with netting and two fish hooks in his face. Members of the Animal Care Team had been called and were on route to the location, but with the tide on the way in, this weak pup was in danger.

“With the tide fast approaching, we managed to wrap the small pup in a towel, and carry it up the beach to safety, where we waited for the experts”. said Will.
When Senior Animal Care Assistant Tamara Cooper arrived, she decided that the pup should be given fluids at the scene as he was very dehydrated, the pup was then taken back to the Sanctuary for a full check up. The pup named Roskilly, is doing very well and the team are pleased with his progress.
