WILDLIFE OVER WINTER With a change in seasons, comes a change in the types of wildlife we care for. As we head from Autumn in to Winter, we usually end up looking after dozens of seals. Most of the UK’s population of grey seals can be found in Scottish waters. In early autumn, pregnant greys return to breeding sites to give birth. It’s common to spot seals on Scotland’s beaches as we have so much coast. Grey seal pups have a fluffy white coat. A mum will leave her pup on a beach whilst she goes off to forage for food in the water.
