A recently-hatched crane chick has given conservationists fresh hope about seeing a new generation of wild cranes in the west of Britain.
The crane chick was spotted on Sunday at WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, where its parents were hand-reared.
Conservationist Nigel Jarrett said it was "incredibly exciting", especially after the same breeding pair lost a chick last year due to the weather.
Cranes were once commonplace in parts of the region in the 1600s.
