Ffrwd Farm Nature Reserve water voles reintroduced to wild

Water voles have been reintroduced to the wild at a Carmarthenshire nature reserve.

The project at Ffrwd Farm Nature Reserve, Pembrey, is part of a wider ongoing water vole strategy for south Wales.

Natural Resources Wales said the creatures had suffered a huge decline in recent decades as a result of habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and predation by American mink.

It is the second release of water voles in the area.
