Photographers have captured endearing images of grey seal pups along the Lincolnshire coast.
The pups were spotted at Donna Nook Nature Reserve near Louth.
Hundreds of visitors attend the reserve each year during pupping season.
The season typically runs from October to December.
This year, 1,924 pups were born at the site.
That figure is 274 higher than last year’s total.
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust confirmed adult seals have now returned to sea.
Twelve pups remain visible from the public viewing area.
