Adders, slow worms and common lizards will be the focus of protection efforts during a major peatland restoration project near Dumfries.

New shelters known as hibernacula are being created using peat, tree material and brash to provide safe overwintering areas.

And staff are using corrugated metal sheets to create warm microhabitats where reptiles can be observed without disturbance.
