Seal Group Meeting 13

Seal IDs from 8 locations in Cornwall : Pup pelage patterns

Agenda items included

Our latest meeting took place on 1st March 2006 at the CPR Learning Space. We enjoyed the more intimate atmosphere of the Dome, where we could watch 7 different rescue PowerPoints simultaneously! Simon bought along his new 'Seal News' DVD and Sue showed a video of this week's Inside Out TV programme featuring Stephen Westcott and Grey Seals. We were pleased to welcome yet another new member, bringing the number of different people who have attended our meetings to 30!


In memory of Wiggly : A beautiful seal
