Piglets small enough to fit into the palm of a hand are among the cute new arrivals at the Cotswold Wildlife Park near Burford.

One of the new arrivals is with farmyard keeper Mark Walker

The exotic 16 Kune pigs have been bred in captivity, but with a healthy feeding thirst that keeps their mothers busy are expected to grow rapidly.

Spring always heralds birth time at the park and other youngsters just entering the world are six African Pygmy Goat kids and three Badger-faced Sheep lambs. A vet had to be called in to help with the birth of one of the baby goats, called Smudge, who has taken a strong affection for one of the park staff, Julie Edgington.
