Hi,

I found this photo of Harry and thought the Summer '08 volunteers would like it as a keep sake seeing as poor little Harry didn't make it in the end. I'm sure everyone will agree that he was a pleasure to look after though. RIP Harry.

Lyndsey's Release

Please see Lynn's email below regarding Lyndsey's release:

 We are looking to releasing ' Lyndsey' the grey seal pup on  
 Wed, 3rd of December @3pm in Strandhill, Sligo. Lyndsey  was  
 rescued on the 9th of October by David Mullan and Barry Finan in  
 Sligo. She was a whitecoat when found and she had multiple wounds  
 and was quite underweight. She has made a great recovery and we  
 look forward to seeing her go home!!!
 
 Hope we'll see you there if you are in the area!

 Thanks
 Lynn

GOOD LUCK LYNN

Good Luck to Lynn who is up for the Volunteer of the Year Award tonight. We all know you deserve it and wish you the best of luck. Love; all of us at the ISS. Xx

Seal Release

Princess and Silver to be released-see Pauline's email below for details:

Princess Saltee and Carol Silver, two grey seal pups rescued and 
rehabilitated by the Irish Seal Sanctuary, will be returned to the 
wild, in full health on Saturday 29th November, St. Helen's Bay, Co 
Wexford at 2pm.

All are welcome to attend.

Princess Saltee, was rescued on the Saltees by local birdwatchers and 
ferrymen and brought by our local volunteer, Kevin McCormack to 
Dublin for care at the Irish Seal Sanctuary. She won the hearts of 
all the volunteers at the ISS, both international and local.

Carol, was named Silver by the volunteers due to her beautiful white 
coat, indicating her juvenile age, she had a sweet personality and 
was a pleasure for them to take care of, despite her emaciated state.

Both seals have made a great recovery and are fighting fit and ready 
to go back to the wild.
