Over 400 seals are born at Orford Ness this winter, just five years after the colony was founded.

The number of grey seals born at a relatively new colony on the Suffolk coast has almost doubled this year, the National Trust revealed.

Rangers at the Orford Ness shingle spit say they have recorded 430 births this winter - an 88% increase on 2024-25.

Matt Wilson, countryside manager for the National Trust's Suffolk and Essex Coast portfolio, said: "This year, our peak counts have included 803 adults and 430 pups, which is by far the highest numbers we've seen since the seals' arrival in 2021."
