Sleepy seal takes a break in Ramsey

Leave him alone, warn police

Police in the north of the Island have warned dog walkers of an unexpected guest by the seaside.

A seal - who's said to be 'very tired' - is currently enjoying a rest on North Beach, Ramsey, near to the steps of the Grand Island Hotel.

Errant dogs can prove a problem for the marine animals, so they should be kept on a lead if nearby.

Pedestrians should also avoid disturbing it.

The ManxSPCA and Manx Wildlife Trust are aware - the sleepy seal's expected to 'make its own way home' after regaining its strength.
