Arrival of First Seal Pups

The first seal pups have been born on Sgeir Dhon between 5pm last night and 10am this morning. One mother and pup are very high up and exposed whilst the other is much nearer the low water line. This will make for a much easier entry into the water for the pup. There is a black backed gull hovering around and it is to be hoped that the mothers look after their pups well!

Last year's first pups were born on 24th June.
