Baby grey seals have been spotted on the Norfolk coast as this year’s pupping season gets under way.

The mammals’ pupping season typically begins in November, with the first fluffy faces caught on camera on the beach at Horsey.

Another seal was captured looking into the distance, while one appeared to be brushing up on its yoga as it held a pose.

They can dive between 30 and 70 metres and remain submerged for between five and 10 minutes, and have been known to feed on a variety of fish and shellfish.
