LOUTH, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 05: A grey seal pup lays in sand dunes at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust's Donna Nook nature reserve on December 5, 2016 in Louth, England. Seal numbers have continued to increase with over 1600 pups born at the reserve this year. Large bull seals are the first to arrive at the reserve in late October or early November where they will wait for females. The cow's arrive later and are herded into harems by the bulls, where they give birth to a single pup which is covered in white fur. The seals return to the North Sea in January before returning to the same area to give birth the following year. The Donna Nook reserve is the UK's premier destination to see Grey Seals and thousands of visitors from across the country come to see the wildlife spectacle every year.
