A four-week-old fox cub has been saved from death after an eagle-eyed council ranger spotted the youngster lying on a railway line in Falkirk.
Fiona Wishart was working in the area with a Police Scotland wildlife crime officer on Tuesday when they stumbled across the tiny ball of fur lying motionless in the rain.
They initially feared the baby had died after being exposed to the elements for too long until they noticed him taking a shallow breath.
