'Crunchie' the seal released back into the wild

After seven weeks of rehabilitation, a seal pup rescued by the Manx Wildlife Trust has been released back into the wild. 

'Crunchie' was abandoned by her mother almost two months ago and was found by the Trust, who took her into their care. 

She was finally released back into her natural habitat on Monday.

The MWT said seals were now coming to the end of pupping season-  a busy time of year for the those involved in the rehabilitation process.
