The heartwarming sight marks the start of the annual pupping season at Horsey, where more than 3,700 pups were born along a five-mile stretch of coastline last year.
The colony, which attracts thousands of visitors each winter, stretches between Waxham and Winterton.

However, animal charities are urging the public to keep their distance, warning that getting too close can cause the seals stress, energy loss, sleep deprivation, pain and injury.
Seal wardens are stationed nearby, and signs have been put up reminding people to respect the animals’ space.
The RSPCA has also issued guidance for visitors, advising people to stay back and observe the seals from a safe distance to avoid causing harm.
