A group of anonymous knitters have donated woolly jumpers to help keep a group of newborn lambs snug and warm.

The miniature knits were donated to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park in Keynsham, Somerset.

Park manager Doug Douglas said: "I received an anonymous package which included eight fantastic hand knitted perfectly sized lamb jackets."

Normally the newborn lambs are kitted out in practical - but not very stylish - plastic coats in order to keep them warm.

Doug added: "The main priority for lambs in the first few days, when they are at their most vulnerable, is survival.

"The plastic jackets that we put on them I admit are not great to look at but ultimately increase their survival by up to 50 per cent."
