Five alpacas have been born at a farm in Wittersham.

Quarter House Alpacas has welcomed the additions to its ever growing number of the South American animal.

Jane Burnett of the small farm said: "Bonnie gave birth first to Treacle, sired by Marmite, a very unexpected birth as she was three weeks early.

"From the start she was a live wire and very happy to wander off on her own and occasionally amble back to mum for a snack.

"Treacle’s birth followed by Tin Tin, a beautiful brown boy born to Fleur. It was a challenging birth because he was early.

"We had to make the decision to deliver him as the vet was some distance away and Fleur was in some difficulty as Tin Tin’s front legs were stuck because they were bent inside her."

Mrs Burnett added: "The traumatic birth meant that Tin Tin and Fleur slept for much of the first week but Tin Tin is now growing well and Fleur is fine.

"Last week saw a lovely white and fawn girl Twix arrive, followed two hours later by Tonto, a white make.

"Then a few days ago Ebony gave birth to Truffle, five weeks early."
