Rare black seal pups have been spotted and photographed by visitors at a Lincolnshire nature reserve.

The grey seal pups at Donna Nook are normally born white and shed their fur at about two to three weeks to expose a grey coat underneath.

However, about one in 400 grey seals reveal a velvety black coat instead and visitors in recent days have reported seeing at least two of these.
