Vets are nursing a baby seal back to health - after finding it in a car park.

Officials from the RSPCA found the young pup in a poor state outside the RNLI's boathouse in Borth, Cardiganshire, west Wales.

Collection officer William Galvin said he believed the seal had come up from the beach, crossed the road and then into the car park.

He said: "It had a few injuries. It was obviously in distress and looked very thin.

"There were no signs of its parents looking for him."

An RSPCA spokeswoman said the animal, which was found on October 4, was now being looked after at a rehabilitation centre.

It is expected it will remain for "some months" until ready to be released back into the wild.
