Water voles - a species that has declined by 90% in the past 30 years - have made their home in at a park in York, it has been confirmed by St Nicks.

The creatures, which are on the red list of threatened species, have recently appeared in Hull Road Park in York for the first time.

They have been found living along the vegetated banks of Osbaldwick Beck which runs through the park, following a seven-year project to improve the wildlife habitat in the area.
