We're being urged not to approach seals for selfies on Horsey Beach.

The Friends of Horsey Seals say whilst the majority of people do stay at least 10 metres away, some are still getting too close to the animals.

They're warning the animals can pose a danger if frightened and that young pups could be abandoned by their mothers and left to starve.

We need to stay at least 10 metres, or 30 foot, or the length of a bus from seals.
