Seals greet man on round-Island swim

The man currently taking on a swim around the Island for charity was greeted by two surprise guests yesterday.

Mike Davis entered the 12th day of his challenge yesterday which is raising money for the conservation efforts of Manx Wildlife Trust and Blue Marine Foundation.

On his journey on Tuesday from The Sound to Fleshwick at one stage he was joined by two juvenile seals which then tailed him for the next two hours on the next stage of his journey.

Mr Davis has so far generated just over £2,400 for both organisations with the aim of hitting a target of £5,000 by the time he's finished.
