A seal pup has been rescued from a Scots street after becoming separated from its colony having wriggled around 100 yards from the water.
Concerned members of the public spotted male pup clambering over rocks and making its way into Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, at around 9.30pm on Tuesday December 6. The seal was first seen next to sculptures on Keith Place before being found on the town's High Street.
One local wrote on Facebook : "This wee seal pup is beside the sculptures beside Keith Place. It has clambered up over the rocks onto the boardwalk and was making its way onto the grass where there is a 'No Dogs' sign.
