“The team had to sit precariously on a cliff edge”. Seal volunteers video a new pup being born
Volunteers at the Manx Wildlife Trust were amazed when they captured drone footage of a seal pup being born in Smugglers Cave on the Calf of Man.
“This is especially impressive as the pup was born in Smugglers cave, traditionally a very difficult location to monitor,” said Manx Wildlife Trust on Facebook. “Not only because the site consists of two long caves but also because viewing inside meant the team had to sit precariously on the cliff edge.”
