The past five days have been very unsettled and as tides pick up again towards the new moon on Wedneday the swells are building too meaning any late seal pups will have a tough time of it. That said two new pups were born on Aber Felin today (the small beach under the house on the south side of the harbour) and are doing well as of this evening.
And what about pup 193, the long distance migrant from Skomer?! Well I checked out the beach this morning and he/she is still there and so is mum - it is 19 days old now and starting to moult. The cow will stop feeding it soon, (some have already done so by this age) but after what it went through I won't begrudge him/her a few extra days with her!
