The first Grey Seal pup of the season has been born.
Calf of Man Bird Observatory took to social media to share the news.
It's named the pup 'Xanadu' - as a tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John.
Olivia saw work being carried out to protect basking sharks during a visit to the Island back in 1995.
