Norfolk's biggest zoo has welcomed a new bundle of feathers amongst its flamingo flock – the first time in seven years.
The brand-new Chilean flamingos have hatched at Banham Zoo, which is run by the Zoological Society of East Anglia.
A spokesperson for the zoo, sister to Africa Alive! near Lowestoft, said: "We are delighted to welcome the new Chilean flamingo chicks to the zoo and be able to share this incredible news with all our visitors and guests.
"The chicks are thriving in their environment and can be seen by guests in the Flamingo house and outside in the habitat finding their feet."
This is the first time this has happened at Banham Zoo in the last seven years and has been described as "a true testament to the amazing welfare and care" by the Bird Team at Banham Zoo.
"Three of the four Chilean flamingo chicks were hand-reared by our incredible keepers after undergoing incubation in our specially controlled incubators.
"One of the youngsters, however, hatched naturally amongst our flock of flamingos."
