Might as well do some good news now as well :)

Large Tortoiseshell butterflies are not extinct in the British mainland again :)

I saw a couple of butterflies on the warm dry day last week but didn't ID quickly enough but they are out there for spotting already.

A bit of hopeful environmental news: In Kosciuszko National Park, the reduction of thousands of feral horses has allowed fragile alpine ecosystems to begin recovering. Native plants are returning, wetlands are healing, and wildlife habitats are slowly being restored.
It's a meaningful reminder that with careful management and respect for balance, nature can regenerate. Good news for biodiversity and for future generations.
