Miss Warrington said: “I went straight down and when I arrived I found the seal not far from the ramp to the beach.
“It was tangled in fishing netting, with line and rope all round its neck and was finding it hard to breathe.
“There was a deep cut part of the way round its neck caused by the net.
“I used the scissors from my horse grooming kit to cut off the netting – it was a bit panicky and kept trying to bite me!
“I then cleaned the wound with the saline solution and it went back into the sea.”
Miss Warrington, who works at the Clifftop Café in Felixstowe and is also a volunteer at the town’s Blue Cross animal rescue centre, said her gran and a beach walker helped hold the seal while she worked on it. Her dog Tilly, a Blue Cross rescue dog, found the seal.
