A spokesperson for the charity said: "We didn't pick up this seal in but we did pick up another one that we kept overnight and then released the next day." It is a busy time of year for seals up and down the east coast as they regularly rest on beaches and in harbours. "I was told by someone on the harbour that they had taken it, I think the seal arrived that morning as the tide was coming up." British Divers Marine Life Rescue were called out to the scene but the seal had gone by the time they arrived. "When I came back the seal was gone and I was told that the seal rescue had been with it all afternoon. "I was told a call had already been made to the Sea Life Centre, so I went home and came to check a few hours later. "I came back at 8am the next morning and found it still there and made an update video as I had thousands of people asking for an update. "I phoned Scarborough Sea Life and told them where it was. Kit said: "I came to the harbour to check on my boat and was told by a friend that a seal was on the south slope and it didn't look very well and that he thought it had a poor flipper. He returned to the scene the next day to find the vulnerable animal still hadn't moved from the cobblestones and was still in distress.
Kit, 50, found the young seal when he was checking on his boat in the harbour at Bridlington, Yorks., and notified a nearby Sea Life Centre upon discovery. Heartbreaking video shows fisherman Kit Gallagher approaching the poor creature 'crying for help' after the tide brought it to shore. An injured seal was left whimpering after it became stranded on the cobblestones of a harbour for more than 24 hours.
