A solar-powered wildlife camera has captured the moment a grey seal pup was born.

The birth was live-streamed from Blakeney Point in Norfolk, which is home to the UK's largest grey seal colony.

Tracey Sizeland, area ranger for the National Trust said the camera was set up to "enable people to enjoy this amazing wildlife spectacle without causing disturbance to the seals".

Early indications are that record numbers of seal pups will be born on Blakeney Point this winter.
