theres been a seal in the severn in and around bewdly since october cleaning up on the fish stocks and has been photographed with good barbel, chub,pike and roach, in its mouth, the ea have bin notified but dont want to remove it and reckon it will find its own way back what do you chaps think. the severn at bewdly is a 90 miles from the coast,theres a good read about it on des taylors fb.

Problem is the Angling Trust say they want to get a permit to shoot it as it is eating fish in the river- and that is just a gold bar own goal for the anti-angling brigade. If it has cute eyes or fluffy fur stay well away and let nature take it's course....

blimy kev didnt know it was in the sun, thing is theres a safari park over the road from the river they aint got no seals ,i carnt see why it carnt be netted and driven back to where it belongs but they reckon its hard to do ,i might have to rig up a sardine and watch the tip go round then hold on tight .
