Photographers have captured endearing images of grey seal pups along the Lincolnshire coast.
The pups were born at Donna Nook Nature Reserve near Louth.
Each year, hundreds of visitors come to see the seal pupping season.
The season usually runs from October to December.
This year, 1,924 pups were born at the reserve.
That figure is 274 higher than last year’s total.
The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust said last year saw a significant drop in numbers.
It confirmed that all adult seals have now returned to sea.
Twelve pups remain visible from the viewing area.
