Record number of Grey Seal pups on Suffolk coast

Record number of Grey Seal pups on Suffolk coast

A record number of grey seal pups have been born at a Cold War weapons testing site off the Suffolk coast. 

430 were counted on the remote Orford Ness shingle spit this year, more than double the number recorded 12 months ago.

Breeding there started in 2021 when visitor numbers fell during the Covid pandemic.
