We had a visit this week from a seal we've seen several times over the last few years. This is Nacho. Nacho is what we call a taggy, you can see a little green tag on a rear flipper. This means he's been a poorly boy at some point and been lifted from a beach and taken for rehabilitation.
In Natchos case, he was found, as a pup on Porthowan beach in December 2020, suffering from a respiritory infection and was also under weight. He was treated at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and later released back into the wild. He was spotted again 2 years later and has been seen several times since then.
So, you may ask how can we identify individual seals. Well, there are a couple of ways. Firstly the tag will have a number on it. This number and the colour of the tag will refer to an individual. If we are very, very lucky we can get a photo of the tag number.
Secondly, all seals have their own, distinctive fur patternation. We take photos or video of individuals and send them off to the great volunteers at the Seal Research Trust, they then look through the huge catalogue to try and match them. This information helps to build a picture of where individual seals have been sighted, how they are moving around the coast and their condition.
Please remember, seals are wild animals and should be treated with respect. If you come across one whilst you're in the water, just act calmly, don't reach out to it. It may well come over to inspect you and then swim away. If you see one on land, keep a good distance away from it, it'll be getting some well needed rest. If you come across a seal that looks unwell or injured contact British Divers Marine Life Rescue, they will send out medics to take a look. If you unfortunately find one dead then contact Marine Strandings Network it will then get recorded.
