It has only been 2½ weeks since Shirley Bassey was released back into the wild but she was spotted by Sarah Beadle at a local haul-out along the north coast of Cornwall on 31st May 2013.
Sarah was doing a seal survey on behalf of the Seal Research Trust and noticed that this juvenile seal had scarring and a red rear flipper tag. Sarah sent a photo of the seal when she got home to Sue Sayer of the SRT, who recognised the markings as Shirley, a pup released just a few weeks ago.
