1/3 An adult peregrine was rescued from the River Cam yesterday morning and unfortunately died at the vets. It was an adult female and sadly could well be the falcon of the city centre pair. The bird was difficult to identify properly due to plumage discolouration and being wet.

I grew this bird of paradise plant from seed when I was about 14. It's never flowered. 38 years later and there's a new growth appearing that doesn't look like a leaf. This could be the most exciting thing that's ever happened! 😁 #birdofparadiseplant #strelitziareginae

The PM in his "build, build, build" speech has just said “The newt counting delays in our system are a massive drag on the productivity and the prosperity of this country” It is a fundamental mistake to view species and environmental protections as a drag on our economy.

Spotted a rare French migrant bird in my garden this morning - a Black Wren... or, as they call it in France, a Wren-noir
