A new scientific study using the latest technology has counted 2,300 more seals on a stretch of beach - and could go on to help conservation efforts.

Volunteers on the ground counted 6,200 seals along a 8km (4.9-mile) run of shoreline around Winterton-on-Sea in Norfolk.

But more than 8,500 seals were counted by drone cameras and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
