Hundreds of visitors flock to see the seal pups at Donna Nook every year

Keen photographers have captured adorable pictures of button-eyed, fluffy seal pups in a corner of the Lincolnshire coast.

Hundreds of visitors flock to see the grey seal pups that are born at Donna Nook Nature Reserve, near Louth, each year.

The season usually lasts between October and December.

This year saw 1,924 pups born at the reserve, 274 more than last year which saw a "significant drop" in numbers.

On Tuesday, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust said all of the adult seals had headed back out to sea and there were 12 pups visible from the viewing area.
