launched a campaign urging holi-

daymakers to take their plastic toys

home from the beach.

Volunteers have rescued three

affected animals in the area, after

they became weak enough to be

caught. The discs were removed

and the animals were released back

into the wild after they recovered.

The most recent one was named

Sir David, after Sir David Attenbor-

ough, whose Blue Planet II series

drew attention to plastic pollution.

The seal was sent back to the wild

in July, after three months in care.

2018, up on 472 in 2015. The charity

said some animals are dispropor-

tionately affected, with a fourfold

rise in incidents involving seals.

There were 28 reports about seals

in 2018, compared to five in 2015.

These latest harrowing pictures

follow a string of recent incidents in

sold for a stirring £5.26million at auction.

Built to promote Thunderball, the coupé is

fitted with the modifications Q tells 007 about

in Goldfinger, including revolving licence plates.

A specialist at California-based auctioneers

RM Sotheby’s said: “We are beyond thrilled.”

■ The Mustang GT from Steve McQueen’s 1968

film Bullitt could fetch £1.6million in January.

SEALS with frisbees trapped on

their necks have been spotted

on the UK coast, as the number

of animals affected by plastic

litter reaches an all-time high.

And two of the animals have been

seen stuck in fishing nets in Horsey,

Norfolk, in the past fortnight.

Getting trapped in plastic discs

left behind by beach-goers can kill

seals. As the animals grow, the discs

begin to cut into their flesh.

The wounds can become infected

and the rings can stop them

catching fish and swallowing.

It comes as the RSPCA reports a

22% rise in animals suffering due to

plastic litter. Incidents hit 579 in
