The National Trust hopes the colony will continue to grow and rival others along the coast.
A large colony of seals is thriving on an English coastline thanks to a "lack of human disturbance", according to the site's managerThe site, managed by the National Trust, welcomes more and more seals during each winter breeding season.
"It's part of their natural movement of colonies anyway, so they've moved down, we think, from Lincolnshire and Norfolk colonies."It's a real privilege to have them on this site and a responsibility, too, for the team here."The shingle spit is currently home to 400 adult grey seals with this number potentially increasing in years to come
"It's a great factor for them, this lack of human disturbance, for what is a really amazing occurrence on this site."
