Keepers at a Scottish safari park are celebrating the arrival of its first Humboldt penguin chick in two years.
The two-week-old chick is doing well after hatching on March 29 at Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling.
The chick is being looked after by foster parents Freckles and Sheldon who took on the job of incubating and rearing the youngster after its biological parents abandoned the egg.
Penguin keeper Coni McEwan said the chick, which has not yet been named as keepers are still to determine its sex, is putting on weight at a good rate.

Escalating problem for Czechs
The good news for visitors to the Czech capital: the newly expanded A line of Prague’s underground network will comfortably take them from the city centre closer than ever to the city’s international airport.
The bad news: to board the No. 119 bus that covers the final five miles between the Nadrazi Veleslavin station and Vaclav Havel Airport, they have to climb 32 steep stairs from the underground station to the bus terminal.
The reason? The 20 billion koruna project did not budget for an escalator there. To solve the problem at the subway station, the airport has hired luggage porters to help travellers. “The missing escalator is the reason,” said Prague airport spokesman Michal Rehorek. The service is provided free of charge.
