Eat, sleep, squeak repeat. That's the life so far, but soon to change as their eyes are opening and getting more mobile. They will soon be all over the place :)
Gorgeous wee seal pup on the slipway this morning very content with me till the dogs came barking and scared it away sadly
Halichoerus grypus
Donna Nook, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust managed site.
Today's numbers as reported by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust
1607 pups, 1568 cows and 404 bulls (24/11/2023)
The pups are born at around 14 kg. They are born in autumn (October to November) with a dense, soft silky white fur; at first small, they rapidly fatten up on their mothers' extremely fat-rich milk. The milk can consist of up to 60% fat. Within a month or so they shed the pup fur, grow dense waterproof adult fur, and leave for the sea to learn to fish for themselves
This seal pup was very much a poser! Technically I think he was more interested in whether I was a seal or not, and what I was doing lying on the ground!
Here's a shot that I took a little while back, at Donna Nook, in Lincolnshire. A great place to see the Grey Seal Mothers & youngsters up close, without unduly disturbing them.
This pup was born & being raised beyond the beach, just in front of the walkway, so he must have been used to posing for a photo.
Our two dogs share a bed for a late morning nap. The schnauzer corgi cross is a puppy. The dachshund chihuahua mix on the back is 13 years old.

From the 2016 November birthing season at Donna Nook on the Lincolnshire coast.
Every November and December, grey seals come to the Donna Nook coastline to give birth to their pups near the sand dunes.
1,957 pups were born in the 2016 season.Last season, 2018, 2,066.
The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust manage this National Nature reserve.
As the females, the cows, head back to sea they mate with the bulls, however gestation does not start until the spring.
Taken at the weekend, there are so many seals on the beach this year! Stayed a respectful distance away and just paused for a couple of seconds to take this shot.

this young bull elk appeared more curious then anything, one brave pup faced him off while the others ran below......incident occurred while pack was off on the hunt....
I visited Ravenscar at Robin Hoods Bay today to see the Grey Seals who have Pups at this time of year. Nothing quite tugs the heartstrings like those big, dark eyes!

Grey seals return every Autumn between late October and early December to give birth and mate. The bulls mate with the cows, after the cows have given birth to a single pup,
After mating,having fattened up the pup on their fat rich milk sufficiently for the pup to survive until it also returns to te sea, the female returns to the sea. The fertilised egg does not start developing until much later so the birth will be at the same time the following year i.e. an 11 month gestation period
There were reports of them which I didn't believe since in the last 25 yrs I have not seen one here. I was proven wrong and saw mom with two young pups. Isle Lake Alberta. Happy Canada Day!
I’ve never seen the pups before- what a treat! Yellow-bellied marmots, Shasta Valley Wildlife Area, California
Love my new pup mask from Alexander Powell - THIRST SL. Looks great with the harness and jock also from Thirst.

For New Years I have re-issued a couple from southwestern Ontario - "Pups in Flight" . . . the CP Galt Subdivision westbound pickup (mainline local) with 4 - pups exits Woodstock, Ontario with the sweet sound that only a pack of SW1200RS's in run 8 can make - June 6, 1976.
The juveniles and pups-wolves under two years old do not have any permanent positions within the pack hierarchy. They obey orders of their parents and older brothers and sisters, but their relationships with each other may change. During their play, they are trying to find out who will eventually be “top wolf” in their age group.
Thanks for your visits and comments. As always, appreciated very much!
