SSPCA Middlebank are now at full capacity with seals. Laurence Brain from Grampian Wildlife Trust had the last of his pups transferred South today following a bite from the seal which has resulted in him developing seal finger. Laurence will not be taking seal pups in for some time now. Oban are also full and to date Hessilhead have 1 common seal pup and 1 grey seal pup currently housed with them. HO will keep us updated on seal pen availability for each place.
