A curfew of young curlews have been released back into the wild in Co Armagh after their eggs were rescued from a peatland fire.

The blaze smouldered for weeks across April and May in the peatland habitat next to Lough Neagh with firefighters working around the clock to extinguish the flames in dry conditions.
