'Almost extinct' pine marten captured on camera for the first time at Longleat

A native pine marten has been captured on camera at the Longleat Estate in Wiltshire.

Pine martens became extinct in the South West more than 100 years ago due to habitat loss as well as hunting and trapping.

However, they have recently returned to the wild in the West Country, with 15 pine martens released at secret locations on Dartmoor in a project led by charity Devon Wildlife Trust.
