"A group of male seal pups head away from their colony and end up in a pool of fresh water, a few hundred yards from the sea. They adopt it as a playground, chasing each other with abandon."

A young Grey Seal pup snoozing on the beach with its mother nearby as wind-blown sand carried by 20 kt northwesterlies swirls around them. But this photo was taken on December 25 in 2006, …

November and December are the best time, with the baby seal pups being born.

2/4: …. Harbour #sealpups are able to enter the water & swim with their mothers within a few hours of birth. The pup’s coat is a pattern of light & dark spots on a grey background, & when the mother sheds her worn & grubby coat, she’ll look as speckled & silvery as the pup…. #sableislandnpr

Apologies for another seal and the cheesy edit. I’m a sucker for #CuteAnimals … I promise to change the subject soon!

Zoomed in from a good distance (as always)

Greetings from Norfolk 🇬🇧

Not many youngsters around now but still plenty of others on the beach.

Taken with a long lens (as usual)

I’m heading over to Norfolk (again) next week to visit some of my favourite animals.
Taken from a respectable distance.

I can’t wait!

The spectacular winter grey seal pupping miracle The miracle of thousands of grey seal pup births is transforming East Anglia’s beaches into a wildlife spectacle bringing joy at Christmas

Half of the world’s grey seals live in the UK. We must safeguard this vital breeding ground.

A very young grey seal pup. This one has a yellow hue to the white fur (lanugo) which lasts a few days after birth

A slightly older grey seal pup. This one still has a white coat so is likely to be between 0-3wks. This one is swimming in a channel in front of some sand dunes. It’s swimming right to left and is looking into the camera

A young grey seal pup is resting on a sand dune in some mixed grasses. Its head on, in profile with its head raised looking to the right.

Every year, Director Dee conducts a daily 'pup count' on the track between Grytviken and the research station at King Edward Point. The first pup on this stretch was born on 16 November (7 days earlier than last year!) How many do you think we'll get to this time?

Another pic from the Norfolk coast, a few days ago.

Again, taken with a long lens to keep a responsible distance.

I’m looking forward to spending a couple of days with my favourite animals, starting tomorrow.

In the meantime, here’s a photo I took the last time I visited.

Facinating to learn about them. The pups put on 2+kgs a day with milk that is 80% fat.
Bull seals wait for the mums to finish nursing so they can mate again. Phew!!

Donna Nook seals today. Amazing to see the pups. #seals #sealpups
