A nature reserve has seen numbers of a rare species of butterfly reach record highs.

One count recorded 1,714 silver-studded blue butterflies at Studland and Godlingston Heath in Dorset - the highest since monitoring began.

The positive results follow a change in the way the heathland is maintained, according to the National Trust.
