Over 3000 Grey seals returning once more to Donna Nook, Lincolnshire, UK to give birth to their pups and recuperate on the beach which is also used as an RAF bombing range. Among the regular visitors is 'Ropeneck', a twenty year old cow who has been visiting shores every year since 2000. She is named so because wardens found her with fisherman's netting wrapped around her neck, the scars of which are still visible. Image shows recently expelled placenta.
