Red squirrels from Norfolk are heading to the Welsh Valleys to start a new life.

The seven kittens were hand-reared as part of the East Anglian Red Squirrel Group breeding programme.

It's hoped they will adapt to their new surroundings and help populate a new wild colony.

The species is under threat in the UK because of a loss of habitat and diseases spread by non-native grey squirrels.

The population has fallen from about 3.5 million in the UK to an estimated 120,000.
