Two abandoned seal pups have been saved in a 182-mile rescue by land and sea.
The cute week-old pair were found at Stornoway Airport on the Isle of Lewis on Thursday and driven to a rehabilitation centre in Caithness by Donna Hopton, of British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
It is rare for a seal to have twins, so it’s unlikely the female and male are related.
They were checked by vets before being taken by a CalMac ferry to the mainland and then driven by Donna to the Caithness Seal Rehab and Release Centre in Brough.
Julia Cable, director of operations at BDMLR, said: "It is never certain why premature pups become separated from their mother. Sometimes they are abandoned.
"Both of these were under 10kg and they are doing well so far. It is never quite certain with common seal pups if they will survive as they are not as hardy as grey seals. But we are hopeful.
