The National Trust, which supports volunteers at Horsey Gap, issued a statement confirming 263 seals have been lost from the beach.

The charity urged visitors to the area not to interfere with the pups and allow the colony to recover naturally.

The white coats of young pups are a common sight on the beaches at this time of year.
