SIR – Re Catherine Phillips’s article (Worcester News, March 14) on Keith the seal being spotted in the river Severn nibbling a paddle board just below Gloucester.

He had also been spotted nibbling a paddle board the previous Saturday.

The very next day, my son, a keen angler (but,I hasten to add, also a keen conservationalist) was on his way from Clevedon for Mother’s Day.

He called in at Diglis and saw a seal there as well.

So either Keith had returned to Worcester within 24 hours or there must be at least another one.
