The public are being advised not to approach seal pups who have been washed up on the islands beaches.

The MSPCA has warned that baby seals are born with a full set of teeth and can be vicious if they feel threatened.

The charity have also said that a mother can abandon a pup if it comes into contact with people.

The seal unit manager has this advice for anyone who comes across an animal in distress.
