Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata): "Couldn't believe how close this bird allowed me - she was just off a pathway on the edge of the water. Camera settings not quite right but still, it's the closest I've ever gotten" Thank you David O'Brien in Ireland. #worldcurlewday

The stain deserves it. Sort of didn’t twig today.

My voting papers arrived this AM. Unfortunately I cannot write what I think against Reform or I spoil my paper.

"I have heard a lot off my friends and I am voting Farage"

When it comes to influencing how people will vote in May's election, a lot of attention is put on social media.

But conversations with friends and family can make a huge difference to how people perceive politics and issues.

Gut it. Sell it off. Destroy our culture.

Alamaya arrived in 2015 – tail bitten off, ravaged by hyenas, barely alive.

He is 12 years old now. A wild elephant finding his place in the Kibwezi Forest, on his own terms.

The Maa word for brave is Alamaya.

Cover of book ‘THIS PRINCELY HABITATION’ THE HAFOD ESTATE UNDER THE 4TH DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, 1832–1846: image is Hafod House with woods and mountains in background

Back cover of book on the Hafod estate. Text: Henry Pelham Fiennes Pelham Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle (1785–1851), of Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, bought the Hafod estate in Ceredigion in 1832. Hafod had achieved its fame under the Welsh antiquarian and bibliophile Thomas Johnes (1748–1816), who developed its landscape to picturesque principles and made it a seat of private learning. Newcastle’s ownership of Hafod from 1832 1846, and his delight in its possibilities, is recorded in the extensive personal diaries which he maintained during the last three decades of his life. This edition publishes, for the first time, all the entries relating to Newcastle’s ownership of Hafod and his comments on the people and places that he encountered on his wider travels in Wales. The diaries offer fascinating insights into Newcastle’s motivations for purchasing and improving Hafod, his own devotion to picturesque principles and his attempts to make the estate well-managed and financially viable. Newcastle considered himself to be an adopted Welshman and immersed himself in aspects of Welsh life and culture at a time when the area was being opened to tourists. He also gave encouragement to these efforts, both through investing in new hotel facilities at Devil’s Bridge and by actively promoting improvements at Aberystwyth, particularly its harbour facilities and urban infrastructure. ... Dr Richard A Gaunt is Associate Professor in British History at the University of Nottingham where he has worked since 2000. A historian of British politics, culture and society in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century, he has published widely on the politics and personalities of the period, including three related volumes of Newcastle’s diaries. Dr Gaunt is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and of the Society of Antiquaries of London and is currently the co-editor of the journal Parliamentary History and of the Royal Historical Society’s Camden Series.

Really looking forward to launching this - Aberystwyth Arts Centre at 2pm on Saturday 6 June. Come and learn more about the history of this famous Picturesque landscaped estate.
