I just had one of the most incredible nature experiences of my life. I got a message that someone had seen an otter near Tesco in Barking. I assumed that it must be a mink, as there couldn’t be otters in such an urban area, swimming amongst supermarkets, motorways & the

Here's the moment Letty Ingrey found that spear tip. It's a piece of Neaderthal hunting equipment, at least 40,000 years old. And it's where we predicted they were hunting. Not driving game over cliff but ambushing them in rocky gullys. #DiggingForBritain 🏺🦣

14 January 1742. Sir Edmund Halley died (aged 86). In 1705 he detailed the orbit of a single comet over the Earth and predicted the date of its next appearance. It was named Halley’s Comet upon its predicted return in 1758, which he did not live to see.

Freshwater landscapes are home to 10% of all known species on Earth but a recent IUCN co-authored study reveals 1/4 of freshwater animals at risk of extinction. It is the largest global assessment of freshwater animals on the IUCN Red List to date. bit.ly/4adwI9N
