Floating scarecrows: how Cornish fishers are stopping seabirds drowning in their nets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Simple deterrents can slash the number of razorbills and guillemots being trapped underwater, two-year study shows Bird-shaped kites and a floating scarecrow are being tested to try to stop endangered seabirds drowning in fishing nets. Every year an estimated 95,000 diving birds, including razorbills and guillemots, are accidentally caught in nets off European coasts. But simple deterrents tested by Cornish fishers and devised by scientists and the RSPB have been shown to reduce the toll by abou

Bird-shaped kites and a floating scarecrow are being tested to try to stop endangered seabirds drowning in fishing nets. Every year an estimated 95,000 diving birds, including razorbills and guillemots, are accidentally caught in nets off European coasts. But simple deterrents tested by Cornish fishers and devised by scientists and the RSPB have been shown to reduce the toll by about two-thirds.

Autumn sunshine could extend Britain’s bumper year for butterflies - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summer is over, most flowers were frazzled long ago and we might expect to see few butterflies beyond September. But it is not over yet. The reverberations from one of the best butterfly seasons in Britain this century will continue if there is more autumn sunshine. Thanks to extended warm seasons, more species are squeezing in an extra generation. Small coppers are on the wing again alongside large and small whites, while red admirals and peacocks pop out of hibernation to feed on late-flowerin
