Attempts were made by harbour police to help the animal, but it swam away into Belfast Lough and had not been seen since.Belfast Harbour Police and Lagan Search and Rescue said it "seemed to be in distress" and a fresh search got under way at low tide on Friday 8 October.Staff from nearby Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry, County Down, also assisted with the search.

Good

Well done to those rescuers. 👏👏👏

Bless the poor little thing. Please will everybody take their rubbish home with them and not leave it on the beach or cram it into the beach bin if its already full as it will fall out and end up in the sea
