Horsey Seals

On our last full day in Norfolk I had decided to go to Horsey Gap to see the seals and to visit the Windpump again to see if I could get a better shot of it than last time. 
Hubby also decided to join me which was a lovely surprise. 
The seals were delightful if a little smelly, all hauled up on the beach. They are quite big now with most of the pups being born around November time and trebling in weight within two weeks. There was a lot of scratching and writhing around on the pebbles, which we were told is because they are moulting and are trying to shed their fur to reveal a newer layer of fur.  Apparently this year they had over 3000 pups at Horsey which is a huge amount. Sadly, some pups lose their lives,  with some actually drowning at sea and then being washed ashore, to be then eaten by badgers and foxes, so we were told. 
There are a couple more shots in extras if you have time to look.
