Record numbers of grey seal pups are appearing at Blakeney Point on the Norfolk coast - and for the first time, members of the public will be able to watch via livestream.
Home to the country’s largest grey seal colony, the beach and dunes will fill with thousands of newborn pups over the coming weeks.
A discreet solar-powered camera has been installed among the dunes, streaming footage from inside the colony until early January, when the final pups are expected to be born. Viewers can tune in for regular “pup-dates” via the National Trust’s website.
The growth of the colony - now confirmed as England’s largest - is backed by new data from the University of St Andrews.
Figures from the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) estimate that nearly 9,000 pups were born at Blakeney Point in 2023. Pup numbers have risen by 77% in five years, from 5,036 in 2018 to 8,946 last year, and have increased more than five-fold over the past decade. With no natural predators, growth at Blakeney has outpaced national trends.
Because of the colony’s size, manual counts are no longer safe or reliable. Since 2014, numbers have instead been recorded through aerial surveys every two years, with scientists assessing pups according to their stage of moulting to produce accurate estimates.
The charity says it anticipates another busy season and hopes the livestream will provide an unprecedented “seal’s eye view” of the colony — capturing tender moments between mothers and pups, playful behaviour, clashes between bulls and the sheer scale of the gathering.
Crucially, it offers nature lovers the chance to observe the seals without disturbing them, as the colony’s success depends on the peace and protection Blakeney Point provides.

Two Amur leopard cubs have ventured outside for the very first time at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
The sisters, born on 14 July to first-time mother Mina, are just four months old. They have been seen leaping into piles of leaves and scrambling up branches. Amur leopards are known for their agility and stealth, often resting on rocky ledges or in trees to monitor their environment and avoid potential threats.
“The cubs are bold, curious and love to climb, already getting comfortable on the upper rocks in their new habitat,” said Racquel Ardisana, associate director of carnivore care and conservation at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. “There are a lot of new sights, sounds and scents for them to take in. When one initially came to explore the habitat’s ground level, she hissed while pawing at the grass - a texture she’s seeing for the first time!”
Before their public debut, the cubs had been developing behind the scenes under the close supervision of the zoo’s animal care team. Building confidence on climbing structures was considered a key milestone before they were introduced to visitors.
Their arrival represents a significant boost for a species whose wild population is believed to number fewer than 100. The cubs are the first litter for six-year-old Mina and are regarded as an important step in the zoo’s efforts to protect one of the planet’s most endangered big cats. The births support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan, which works to maintain healthy and genetically diverse populations of threatened species in accredited institutions.
Native to the forests of eastern Russia, Amur leopards have thick coats and long tails to withstand harsh winters - conditions that make Chicago feel surprisingly familiar.
The sisters have yet to be named, but the zoo says big cat fans will not have long to wait, with details to be announced on social media.
