Animal has been evading capture from Rochford fishing lake since mid-December

Wed 11 Jan 2023 12.00 GMTA seal trapped in a fishing lake has “found himself in a branch of Waitrose” and has no incentive to escape, according to an expert.

“But now it probably has no incentive to leave as it’s found itself in a branch of Waitrose and it’s munching its way through the fish.” The reservoir is owned by Rochford district council but has been licensed to Nick North, of Marks Hall Fisheries, for 11 years. North told the BBC his staff were working with the council, BDMLR, the Environment Agency and Essex constabulary’s wildlife team to rescue the seal, but attempts last week had failed as it had slipped under a net.
