Peep-Peep is the latest Puffin Croft pet

THE Puffin Croft petting farm near John o' Groats has a new addition to its menagerie of cute creatures – and this little character is one of the cutest.

Peep-Peep is a runner duck that croft owner Cara Young hatched from an incubator.

"While waiting for its playmates to hatch I have been keeping it company and bonding with it," said Cara.

She admitted she won't know whether Peep-Peep is a boy or a girl until the adult feathers grow in.

Puffin Croft is open all year round from 10am-6pm and situated opposite the village post office. Entry to the petting farm is £2 per person (cash only).
