A Scottish animal charity has shared a distressing image of a seal tangled in discarded rubbish on the Aberdeenshire coast.
The Scottish SPCA said the little male was thankfully rescued by one of their animal officers but urged the public to be aware of the problem litter can cause to our native wildlife.
Posting on their official Facebook page, the charity shared images of the struggling seal, adding: "Animal rescue officer Lynn was called to help this seal on the Aberdeenshire coast who was tangled in discarded netting and rope."
