The first newborn beavers born in the wild since their re-introduction to the UK last year have been spotted by officials in a Scottish forest.
At least two kits, estimated to be eight weeks old and belonging to different family groups, have been seen in Knapdale Forest in Argyll.
A total of 11 beavers were brought to Scotland from Norway last year as part of the Scottish Beaver Trial.
Beavers were hunted to extinction in the UK 400 years ago.
