A 28-year-old man has been charged over an alleged fox hunt in the Scottish Borders.
Police were sent footage by the League Against Cruel Sports relating to an incident near Kelso in December.
Traditional fox hunting was banned in Scotland in 2002, but hunts - in some forms - are still allowed.
Police said the man had been charged in connection with wildlife crimes and that a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
