Conservationists, cattle and a remote-controlled mower are helping to save one of Wales's most endangered animals.

Butterfly Conservation has deployed the mooing and mowing machines to protect the beautiful High Brown Fritillary butterfly at the last known site where it is found in Wales.

The team have also recruited commoners to graze their cattle at Oldcastle Down in the Vale of Glamorgan for the first time in 60 years, all to create more habitat for the rare and precious species.
