Donna Nook covers more than 6.25 miles of coastline between Grainthorpe Haven in the north and Saltfleet in Lincolnshire Every November and December, grey seals come to the Donna Nook coastline to give birth to their pups near the sand dunes. It is also an active RAF bombing range!

Fluffy white pups are born between September and December. Pups remain on land until they have moulted their white coats and trebled their birth weight; at which point they head to the sea to hunt for themselves.

From birth to three weeks old, a gray seal pup may gain up to three pounds a day feeding only on the mother’s nutrient-rich milk.

A pup can survive off blubber reserves for several weeks as it waits to shed its lighter fur before going to sea and dispersing across large areas.
Male gray seals can reach 10 feet long and more than 850 pounds, while females are slightly smaller at 7.5 feet long and 550 pounds.
