This poor thing was abandoned by its mother so we rescued it and it's now with @SEWH for much TLC. Our fingers are crossed #seal #pup #rescue #rivercrouch #discovery

Another fantastic trip to see the local seal colony. Over 50 seals with lots of pups on show. Made even better by our special guests, @mdaydj and @thesuharrison from @RadioEssex. #meetthephocas #discovery #seals #riverroach #rivercrouch

Fact of the day - seal pups weigh between 8 and 16 kilos at birth. No wonder our pregnant ladies like to lay on the mud! #meetthephocas #discovery #seals #riverroach #rivercrouch #wildlife #essexmarina #wallasea

A few pictures from todays trip - we dont only see the seals. Our trips take us past the Wallasea RSPB reserve so we see a few species of seabirds. Todays shots are an egret, a shelduck in flight and Canada geese. #meetthephocas

Fact of the day - the main predators of common seals are Great White Sharks, Greenland Sharks, Killer Whales (Orcas) and Polar Bears. Thankfully, we don't get many of those in the Crouch and the Roach!! #meetthephocas #seals #discovery #rivercrouch #riverroach
