Record number of seal pups recorded

A record number of seal pups have been recorded on the Calf of Man.

Manx Wildlife Trust says the first new pup of the season, called 'Cabbage' popped out at the end of August. 

And there's now a total of 101 pups on the island. 

The charity says 'C' is the letter for this year's seal pup names, with some being named after cultural icons like Chappell Roan and Cher

It adds using a new thermal drone has been a game changing development when it comes to being able to monitor the animals.
