A record number of Atlantic Grey Seals have been recorded on a 5 mile stretch of coast in Norfolk.
A total
of 3796 pups have been born so far this winter while 1169 adults have been recorded by volunteers from Friends of Horsey Seals. This
year’s figure is almost double the count during the winter of 2019-20 when 2069
pups were counted.
The Guardian - Baby seals spotted in record numbers on Norfolk coast
Friends of Horsey Seals - seal count 2022/23 - week 10 - 4th January 2023
This is excellent news given the large number of marine mammal and bird species that are struggling due to warming oceans, plastic and other pollution and disturbance.
I visited Horsey beach on 5th December 2022 .... please see here for my report and photos.
