A bit of a different call-out today. I went to take samples for SMASS of a juvenile minke whale that had been washed up. There were no injuries or entanglements, just a poor young skinny minke youngster. What a shame, such a beautiful animal. It is going to be collected tomorrow for a post mortem. Thanks to Jess for sssissting me and Subsea 7 for their help, it was very much appreciated.

Mr Bowie is catching up with Stevie. He’s also loving the pool and they both get on so well. Bowie loves her and it will work out well on release date.
Bowie was 20.7kg and now weighs 23.8kg, he has put on 3.1kg. A great weight gain.
I’m so happy with Bowie & Stevie, they deserve a fantastic life in the wild.

Princess Stevie, what a tubby lady now.
She’s doing really well and loving the pool. Still as soft and loving as always. I’ll miss my boo-boo.
Stevie was 24.7kg, she now weighs 27.9kg, she’s put on 3.2kg, creeping ever closer to release weight.

Ozzy has chilled out but is not keen on too much company, he’s happy entertaining himself. But does get on fine with Madonna & Bob.
Ozzy was 12.3kg and now weighs 15.4kg. He’s put on 3.1kg. He also eats whole fish but again not enough to maintain his weight so he is still being tubed. Nevertheless he is doing really well.

Our Bob, the hoover.😁 He is eating fish chunks and whole fish so is doing really well. A chilled out character who is everyone’s friend.
Bob was 11.6kg, he now weighs 14.5kg. He’s put on just under 3kg. A fantastic weight gain.

Madonna is Bob’s little shadow and follows him every where and copies everything he does. She was 9.7kg and now weighs 10.7kg she’s put on 1kg, but that will soon change. Bob eats fish chunks so Madonna has to eat fish chunks. She is also eating whole fish. She’ll soon pile the weight on. She’s a very confident and strong willed little girl. She’s a little trouper.

It’s weigh day…..
Freddie was 13.3kg, he now weighs 15.4kg, he’s put on 2.1kg.
Freddie does eat whole herring when he chooses, but not enough to maintain his weight so is still getting tubed. He is growing up, less biting. This morning he was having zoomies around the ICU. He was so happy.😁

Everyone meet pup number six from Ullapool. This is a common female weighing in at 9.7kg. Her name is Madonna.
Other than malnourished & under weight, dehydrated and tired, she’s ok. Bloods are clear so she can meet the gang soon. She did give me a bit of a scare last night when her temperature soared, but she’s bright and perky today and her temperature is back to normal. She will be managing all the other band members very soon I’m sure. Very confident little madam.
Thank you to Noel Hawkins, Cal Major, James, Donna and Karen for rescuing and relaying the pup up to us. Another little soul saved. Well done everyone.

We have a new species of seal here, it’s called a hoover seal, and its name is Bob. He eats everything and anything you give to him. No herring is safe out there any more. He’ll have you.😁😁😁😁🦭🦭❤️❤️
