Rope caught around animal's neck at The Sound
There are fears nothing can be done to help a seal at The Sound pictured with rope around its neck.
Images, captured by photographer Susie Mackenzie-Fidlin, have been posted on social media.
She says the seal has been caught in the rope for weeks but has been told by divers, and wildlife groups, that freeing it would be too dangerous for all involved:
