Hazel dormice have been released into Leicestershire parkland after vets gave the miniature mammals a clean bill of health.

Since June, more than 20 dormice have been living in open cages in a secret location at Bradgate Park, near Newtown Linford.

On Wednesday, vets from London Zoo and Twycross Zoo assessed the health of the dormice before they were released into the wider park.
