A herd of water buffalo introduced to a wetland two years ago is having a positive effect on wildlife, a charity has said.

Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust said the animals, based in Wivenhoe in Essex, had been returned to Thorley Wash Nature Reserve for a third year to graze ditches, waterlogged marshy areas and wet grassland.

Reserves officer Kathryn Dunnett said biodiversity had improved, with vegetation turning greener and more wildflowers appearing.
