  • Two seals were pictured together on a beach on the east coast of Scotland
  • Young grey seal is seen nurturing her newborn in its first few days 
  • Gives the baby a reassuring pat on the head and a kiss on the lips 
  • Images were captured by wildlife photographer Anna Henly 
  • Seal were on a 50-strong colony where they had come ashore to bear young

    The seals nuzzle up together, with the mother never being more than a few inches away during this critical time 

    The pair lean in close as the newborn, who is just days old, looks to his mother for reassurance  



    The young seal is so young that it still has a yellow tinge to its coat due to the fluid of its mother's womb
