A seal pup has been rescued from a Jersey beach.
It was spotted by surfers out at sea after it approached them in a large swell at Plémont Bay.
When the pup brought itself ashore, a family called the JSPCA - who then brought in a team of volunteers from British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
The temporary white coat that the pup has is not waterproof and pups this young should remain on land if possible until they moult this coat. Sadly it is likely this pup was already washed away from mum with the huge swell and if it had continued to float around at sea with that heavy coat, it would have eventually drowned.
