🦭 A seal won't thank you 🤔

We would, though 🥰

Seals don't understand who helps them or supports their rescue from afar. They do know what it's like to have a full stomach and illnesses treated, thanks to the people who keep our work going.

Our mission is to help more marine mammals, and this is where your help comes in.

BDMLR Ocean Allies are the people quietly behind every response — giving just £3 a month for our seal package to support seal rescue across the UK

Something genuinely useful, happening every month to help us plan for the future 💙

❤️ Fabulous fundraising!

Our volunteer teams have been busy at events across the UK, raising vital funds and sharing our work with their communities.

Teams in Kent and Suffolk have made well over £1,000 at local events celebrating the work we do at BDMLR, and they're joined by Lincolnshire, Northumberland, Hampshire, Yorkshire and beyond who have also been out in force!

A huge thank you to every volunteer who gave their time and to everyone who stopped to chat, support us or donate. It makes our volunteers extremely happy having even a few minutes to talk about their favourite rescues!🦭🐬🐋

🦭 From ‘not out of the woods’... 💔
.to ready for the next chapter!

The little mouth rot pup from Redcar has come on a long way since arriving exhausted and wounded

After a difficult start, he’s now much brighter, stronger and fit enough to continue his recovery. This week, he travelled with another pup for the next part of rehabilitation to Tynemouth Seal Hospital, where he’ll keep building his strength and learning everything he needs before eventually returning to the wild

What a difference a little time, care and plenty of fish can make thanks to your support! 🐟

Now on with the next pups needing our help in the North East 🥰

🦭 We don't need room service 🍛

Feeding adult seals from boats or enticing them closer with fish teaches them to approach vessels and associate people with an easy meal

This can draw them towards anglers, putting them at risk of swallowing fish hooks or becoming entangled in line 🪝

Seals expecting to be fed may also become demanding and bite when food isn’t offered

Seals are powerful wild animals with strong jaws and sharp teeth. Leaving them in peace to stay wild is what we all want right? 🥰

🦭 Fresh fish, private pool and staff on call... welcome to the SSRU!

This little pup from Kessingland in Norfolk is currently making full use of our facilities at our Suffolk Seal Rescue Unit, while our team provides all the care they need

Guest feedback so far: the pool is acceptable, but the service could involve more fish! 😂🐟

🦭 Nobody wants to wake up to an audience! 😱

An adult seal resting on a North Yorkshire beach this week was thankfully given plenty of space, but even a well-behaved crowd can feel like a lot when you’re trying to nap!

The longer crowds gather around seals on busy beaches, the more tolerant of people they may become... that doesn’t mean they enjoy the constant company 😔

Keep dogs on leads and give them room to rest.. naps are much better without surprise visitors!

🦭 We’ve all fallen asleep somewhere odd… 💤

This pup was spotted resting in a tyre track on a busy North East beach this week

Thankfully, beachgoers noticed them and called our rescue hotline, concerned that a vehicle could pass along the same track and put the pup at risk

Seals are semi-aquatic and regularly come ashore to rest. They can choose some unusual sleeping spots, so seeing one stretched out on the beach doesn’t necessarily mean they’re stranded

What’s the strangest place you’ve ever managed to nod off? 👇
