Update: 5th October 2013 - As you know Juls was returned to the wild on 11th June 2012, since then they had not had a reported sighting until an email was sent via the website to Tamara Cooper from Reserve Manager David Pickett.
David said a seal had been seen several times at the Isle of May in Scotland with a tag which came from the Cornish Seal Sanctuary.
Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary uses the same tags and Tamara from Cornwall contacted Keiran at Hunstanton who confirmed it was Juls.
