Halichoerus grypus - Donna Nook on the Lincolnshire coast serves two seemingly incompatible purposes; it is both an RAF bombing range and a haven for grey seals. Around November & December each year, the females beach themselves to give birth - hundreds of pups are born every winter supplementing the colony's numbers. This newly born baby with its bright, white fur was around one day old and utterly dependent on his mother for both food and protection.
