The sun continues to shine on New South Wales, where Sydneysiders have experienced a run of 16 days above 22C, which is unheard of for May.

The short-haired bumblebee vanished from the UK in 1988, having suffered declines over the previous 60 years as its habitat was lost, and was officially declared extinct in 2000. A scheme to reintroduce the species has seen experts collecting short-haired bumblebee queens from Sweden, where they are found in good numbers, and releasing them at the RSPB's...
