Photographers have captured endearing images of grey seal pups at Donna Nook Nature Reserve.
The site lies on the Lincolnshire coast near Louth.
Hundreds of visitors attend the reserve each year during the pupping season.
The season typically runs from October to December.
This year, 1,924 seal pups were born at Donna Nook.
That figure is 274 higher than last year, which saw a notable decline.
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust confirmed that adult seals have now returned to sea.
Twelve pups remain visible from the public viewing area.
