An animal charity is looking for two volunteers to live on a remote island and count seals.
The Manx Wildlife Trust is looking for volunteers willing to live alone for nine weeks to carry out its annual seal population survey.
The volunteers will temporarily relocate to the Calf of Man, to conduct the yearly seal survey for nine weeks to get a better understanding of the seal population. They need two enthusiastic volunteers to conduct the 11-week survey, which includes two weeks to complete a data analysis of the findings.
Dr Lara Howe, marine officer at Manx Wildlife Trust, said: “The Isle of Man is a jewel in the Irish sea for wildlife, whether that be marine or terrestrial. With its small size, it allows you to visit plenty of great locations and habitats and see a huge variety of species without travelling miles to do so.”
