Seals, Whales and Dolphins

Today I was at Burnham on Sea helping out with (and refreshing my own skills) a Marine Mammal Medic course run by British Divers Marine Life Rescue. After a morning of theory it was onto the beach in glorious sunshine to rescue the model mammals we had with us.

It was good to see a large turn out of new volunteers as well as existing medics (like myself) refreshing skills. Those new members will join us on the call out list for whenever we get strandings or poorly seals.
