A five-day-old seal was separated from its mother in a creek and was washed up in the middle of the field, attracting the attention of a herd of cows, BBC News reported.
Birdwatch Ian Ellis noticed the herd standing around something on the field at an RSPB sanctuary on the banks of The Wash in Lincolnshire. He discovered that they were surrounding a baby seal, which he saw through his telescope.
The harbor seal, who is currently recovering, was named "Celebration" to mark the Natureland seal sanctuary's 50th anniversary. She will be rehabilitated until she is 60-70 lb and is able to feed in the water on her own.
Celebration will be released back to the wild after she finishes recovering.
