Latest modelling has shifted Storm Austen slightly further south which takes the strongest winds to the south of the UK too.

That said - Friday is still likely to be a very windy day across the southwest/south and with trees still in leaf, disruption is likely.

@kidrauhlforward @SilverstoneUK This is exactly what's happening to me...I was very nearly at the end and then the green bar bounced back to less than halfway 😭

Pine martens caught on camera playing on children's swingset in Ardnamurchan, Scotland. The owner of the video, Les Humphreys, tells us this is a nightly occurence in his garden.

Want to give your child a leg up in kindergarten?

Expose them to a million extra words. It’s easier than it sounds.

I wrote recently about the vocabulary building power of reading aloud to your child.

Books expose children to new worlds through their storytelling - and with those new worlds come new WORDS. Words that you may not have had occasion to use otherwise.

Reading develops this vocabulary quality in part through vocabulary quantity.

A recent study from Ohio State University suggests that children who are read five books a day from infancy will be exposed to 1.4 million more words by kindergarten than those who lack this advantage.

If five books seems like a lot, rest assured that there’s advantage to any reading at all. Children read a single book a day will benefit to the tune of 290,000 more words.

A rich vocabulary lends itself to explosive reading growth when the time comes. That’s because you can’t truly decode words you don’t know.

So read, read, read with your little one. You’ll be amazed by the return on investment.

An exceptionally well-preserved woolly rhino that lived between 20,000 - 50,000 years ago. 🦏 Happy #MammalMonday.  

Discovered in 2020 by Alexei Savvin in Yakutia, Russia, this young rhino was found with intact organs, a thick coat of fur & its last meal.

This is what river restoration looks like 👀

These Google Earth images show the dramatic transformation of Swindale Beck by @WildHaweswater in the Lake District.

Here's a quick 🧵 on how they did it, and the incredible #rewilding results. #WorldRiversDay (1/5)

There are only two northern white rhinos left on Earth—could “de-extinction” technology save them?

The pups of the Nyamepi pack🐾
Born in May of this year, these pups are learning what it means to be part of the pack.
Thank you to our partners @PaintedDogPDC for the adorable photo.

The recent snow leopard survey has also added a new species to the mammals list of Bhutan - the threatened Thorold's deer (Cervus albirostris) also known as the White-lipped deer.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND LOOK AT THE LITTLE PAWS ON THIS WATER SHREW

[Stuart Edmunds @PinemartensUK]

A #cameratrap first for me: a young female polecat carrying kits by the scruff of their necks, probably to move them to a safer location. I've seen weasels and stoats do this but not polecats. How many babies can you count?
