An emergency plan to save the UK's capercaillie population could lead to birds being introduced from continental Europe to help boost numbers.

There are thought to be 532 of the large grouse remaining, with all of them found in Scotland. Experts say they could be extinct within 30 years.

Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) and NatureScot have launched the five-year plan.
