A YOUNG female grey seal amazed the community on Lundy Island by allowing a snorkeller to get close enough to remove a plastic ring it was entangled in.
Warden of the island Beccy MacDonald said this was the first time she can recall a seal allowing a person to remove an entanglement.
Lesley Harper of Seastyle Diving came across the seal while snorkelling on a recent visit on charter boat Jessica Hettie.
Lesley said: “The seal suddenly appeared with this plastic ring wrapped around it. Luckily I managed to coax it off and stuff it in my pocket. The seal was acting like it was a toy.”
