Photographer Johan Siggeson captured some adorable photos of a seal pup relaxing at the Horsey beach in Norfolk, when it suddenly waved to the camera

In the months between November and January, beaches attract a great number of seals as they get filled with animals and their new born pups.

Photographer Johan Siggeson captured some photos of one of the adorable pups as it enjoyed the great weather. He even captured a very unexpected moment as the pup appeared to be waving at the camera, which is Siggeson’s favorite photo

“It was an amazing experience to spend time with these seals. We had some horrible weather the first days with rain, hail and wind,” Siggeson said. “Other days were tolerable. As a wildlife photographer it was great with varied weather since it makes for different types of images. I love the one where the seal is waving since it almost makes it look human.”

The Friends of Hosey Seals group issued guidelines for the sake of the animal’s safety, as the seals are attracting a lot of attention from humans.

In a Facebook post, it said: “This is an urgent message to please treat these beautiful animals with the ultimate respect they deserve. Human intervention can easily prove fatal to seals and in particular their pups – so please ensure you adhere to the following rules on the beach.”

The guidelines ask visitors to make sure that they keep a distance of at least 10 meters away from the seals, and to never come between a pup and its mother as it could lead to the mother abandoning the pup.

In addition, it told people not to chase seals into the water, as the pups are not waterproof yet and could therefore lead to their death.

It is also asking dog owners to keep an eye on their dogs, so owners can make sure both their dog and the wild animals on the beach are safe.
