It's been a happy ending for the eggs of an elusive bird that were just inches from the flames of a large wildfire earlier this year.

Saved by firefighters during the blaze in Brookeborough, County Fermanagh, the four curlew eggs have now hatched.

The chicks will eventually be released into the wild, and conservationists are delighted.
