Darren, who works for the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, told Isle of Wight Radio:

“It was really lovely to experience that! The seal seemed happy enough and wasn’t in distress.

“At one point, it waddled out - almost to my feet!

“After a few tough night shifts, this certainly provided some happiness!”

Thanks to Ang and Darren for the pictures and video.
