Seal disturbance in Flamborough
Humberside Police say two climbers abseiled to take pictures of seals
Humberside Police say they have received reports of seal disturbance at Flamborough.
Over the weekend, the Yorkshire Seal Group reported that two climbers had abseiled from the 'Drinking Dinosaur' point at Flamborough Head in order to take pictures of the seals.
Officers say their presence caused a high level of disturbance to their natural behaviour with the seals retreating to the sea and people need to ensure that wildlife are given space.
It adds that disturbance is damaging for a seal as it interrupts their rest, causes stress, wastes energy reserves and can result in injury or death.
