It's not just us humans who appreciate our mums, as this gorgeous photo of a grey seal and her pup shows.

But we're the only species who have a special day to express our love, and with Mother's Day fast approaching, don't forget to send a card!

If you're spending some time with your mum this weekend, our reserves make great days out at this time of year, and some have cafes serving delicious food (including yummy cake).

It's probably too late for this year, but prints or canvases of beautiful photos like this one by the super-talented Ben Hall make great presents. Check out RSPB Images to find one you love.

  • What a gorgeous photo - the seals are beautiful but the light in the background is the icing on the cake!

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
