A two-week-old pine marten found in a bin is now being cared for at a rescue centre.
The tiny mammal, which is rare in the UK, was found in Powys, Wales, with two siblings who did not survive. It is now being cared for at Vale Wildlife Hospital in Gloucestershire.
Staff at the rescue centre named him Martin, after a member of staff who identified him as a pine marten.
Wildlife assistant Laura Pawley, who has been looking after the kit until he is ready to be released into the wild, said it was “quite beautiful watching him grow” and all the more special because she had never seen a pine marten before.
