Four harvest mouse nests have been found at a wind farm in Cornwall, according to surveys.

The survey by Cornwall Mammal Group was carried out after staff at the Carland Cross wind farm near Newquay spotted a juvenile harvest mouse nesting close to a control building.

Cornwall Wildlife Trust said tussocky grassland provided "ideal conditions" for the species.
