Atlantic Grey Seal protecting her Pup (Halichoerus Grypus)
A grey seal having recent given birth to her pup at Donna Nook Lincolnshire. Most pups are born close to the coastline in a "nursery" area overseen and protected from the public by the North Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. However a few pups are born a mile out towards the sea and sadly many are drowned.
