Three fluffy flamingo chicks have hatched at Edinburgh Zoo in what zoo officials described as an "extremely successful breeding season".
Two breeding adult pairs have swapped partners this year; one pair now has a chick with the other pair incubating an egg of their own.
It is the second consecutive year that successful breeding has taken place for the flamingos.
Nick Dowling, keeper on the Bird Section at Edinburgh Zoo said: "We are delighted that for a second year in a row our Chilean flamingos have bred.
"For us it is confirmation that the improvements we have made to their enclosure have really made a difference. The one thing we can't control is the weather and while the warm, wet conditions we have experienced this summer may not be favoured by everyone it may have benefited the flamingos.
