Pine Martens lured to Cumbria forest with peanut butter (www.bbc.co.uk)

Hidden cameras and peanut butter are helping conservationists track pine martens that have recently been introduced to a woodland.

Thirteen of the rare animals were brought from Scotland last autumn and released near Grizedale Forest in Cumbria, but they are already on the move across the county.

Despite once being common in the area, hunting drove pine martens to the brink of extinction.
