Given the decline in cash usage perhaps the animals in question should be those that have become extinct in relatively recent times; examples are the Wolf, Bear and Lynx.

I told my daughter about it some time ago and they have booked a holiday in Northern Spain as a result. I saw the 1999 eclipse in Hungary in perfect conditions, it's something you never forget.

It's suspected that the species may be being released from stock reared in this country, it's completely unofficial.

Absolutely, it's a very enjoyable project. I was a 10Km square coordinator during the last survey. Ideally they need someone younger this time for this role, I do hope to be able to contribute on an ad hoc basis.

Skies like that compensate for the need to wash all the dust off the car.

It's the same well away from West London now, there is roost of several hundred Parakeets about a mile from my home in St Albans . Cetti's Warbler numbers seem to have increased significantly here in the last few years too.

I'm an inveterate user of BTO two letter codes, although around here SF is not one I get the chance to use very often. CoPilot got it correct and my experience with that product has been positive.

According to the Met Office the UK climate is warming at 0.25C per decade, land warms faster than oceans. My weather station records of 25 years align with the Met Office findings.

I wish they had done it earlier, monetary calculations at school were a pain.

I live opposite a bus stop, if this introduced I would have to walk a lot further to cross lawfully. Despite the existence of the law in the USA their road injury statistics are worse than European countries.

I think that 2013-14 will prove to be wetter overall although this might be true for all locations. I live in Hertfordshire and I need 65mm more to overtake that year's total. It's quite clear that autumn and winter's are getting wetter and summer heat extremes are more common.

It's a long time since I've been there, I grew up in Pinner and used to to go there regularly in the 1960's. I moved out to Hertfordshire where Andrew Moon was a regular record and photograph contributor before he moved away to Suffolk; the photos were of outstanding quality.

This is a screenshot showing the matrix used by the Met Office for their warnings, you could have an amber warning even of it's not a very likely event but the impact is high. There is an onlineimpact matrix guide which fleshes out the detail

The temperature remained below freezing all day from the 28th February to the 2nd of March 2018 inclusive here in St Albans, not much precipitation until the end of that period though.

One of three Great White Egrets at Tyttenhanger GPs near St Albans, earlier all three were partly hidden at the edge of the lake. It's a hot spot for Egrets, with Little Egrets there in double figure numbers. About a month ago there was a Cattle Egret around, it's a remarkable change in populations.

A Hydrogen fuelled engine will produce Nox as well as water. This can be removed catalytically but making enough Hydrogen to power all road vehicles by green methods is probably not practicable. Batteries are a better solution.

That's a hungry cat, it's probably finding it hard to find natural prey which is why it is in a ski resort.

A top management decapitation is in order, some of the underlings need to go as well.

I'm the same age as Trump and I get bruises like that quite regularly, they are pain free. Old skin is fragile particularly on the hands and arms, it doesn't signify a serious condition usually.

It wasn't mentioned in the headline but was in the full article.

I have an EV and the home charging troubleshooting information was found by AI which I used after a traditional search online. The troubleshooting was interactive as well. It is useful but my experience with it on summarising documents was not so good, it invented things that were wrong.

I saw an interview on the Met Office's YouTube channel where one of their climate scientists stated that the UK climate is warming at O.25C per decade. I'm fairly sure this is much more rapid than the models used by finance.

He's no use on tax avoidance, he had to cough up the money which included a substantial penalty. It seems it was a bit more than just carelessness.

The government stopping using X now would be a signal that these are not empty words.

I had just been listening to the instrumental version of Christmas Time is Here when I read your post, a nice coincidence.

My daughter has just come back from a weekend in Paris and remarked that we are much more like the French than the Americans which aligns with your statement. I agree with her as well.

One of the many Little Egrets here, this one perched in a tree next to a lake

This is first day I've seen 3 different species of Egrets in the UK at one place - at Tyttenhanger Gravel Pits near St Albans. a sure result of a warming world. #ukbirds #hertsbirds

Little Egret

Kingfisher

Black-headed Gull in a a very advanced state of plumage for the time of year

Grey Wagtail

A few birds from Verulamium Park, St Albans today, irritatingly the Mediterranean Gull was absent #ukbirds

I didn't know corruption was provincial.

You might be OK, it was raining heavily in the middle of the day in St Albans, the sky is now clear.
