Highland councillors have agreed to declare an area of shoreline on the Inner Moray Firth as a local nature reserve (LNR).

The almost 47 acres (19ha) at Ardersier Common provides habitat for birds such as tern, curlew and goldfinch and it is also home to rare species of flowers and butterflies.

An LNR is a protected area of land designated by a local authority because of its special natural interest or educational value.
