Walkers at Ballyhiernan Bay have been urged to not approach a seal pup on the beach which was spotted earlier in the week.
When a member of the public seen the pup, they called Seal Rescue Ireland.
The advice issued by the animal organisation is to stay away, give them a call and alert other locals to follow suit should they spot the seal.
Seal Rescue Ireland can be contacted via their website or on +353 87 195 5393.
