Seal still has plastic around neck, one year later

A seal spotted last year with a plastic ring around its neck, is still in the same condition.

The grey Seal was spotted with the collar once again near Fort Island in Langness earlier this week.

The animal was first noticed in 2019, but the Manx Wildlife Trust says the animal's condition doesn't seem to have declined too much.

However, until the seal becomes weaker, they're unable to get close enough to remove the plastic.
