The Manx Wildlife Trust have started their annual seal pup survey on the Calf of Man geared toward getting a clearer idea of the birthing habits of the seals and their rough population numbers in Manx waters.
A team of volunteers will take up week long shifts on the Island to get a full picture of the pupping season.
The survey also underpins just how important the Calf of Man is for the seals around the Isle of Man.
