A wildfire that broke out on a protected area of lowland heath is likely to have killed bees, ground-nesting birds and other wildlife, rangers said.

Firefighters dealt with what they described as a "significantly large fire" on about three acres (1.2 hectares) of Gentleshaw Common Nature Reserve on Friday.

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) said, external "much wildlife will have been impacted".
