A plan to reintroduce three tiny frog species to the UK has been given £15,000 by a rewilding charity.

The hope is that the amphibians will thrive at the West Acre estate, near King's Lynn, Norfolk by the summer of 2027.

Celtic Rewilding wants to bring back the agile frog (Rana dalmatina), the moor frog (R. arvalis), and the European tree frog (Hyla arborea) - which were common in the UK 500 years ago.
