Delight as 'Bambi' baby deer spotted behind Manchester city centre nightclub
A baby deer has been spotted close to Manchester city centre, more evidence that wildlife is returning. The creature was seen on a riverside path, behind Hidden nightclub off the A56 Bury New Road, at about 8.30pm on Friday evening. Support worker Tom Lightbown, 36, was walking along a path beside the River Irwell on the way to the shops when he spotted the baby deer (fawn) ahead of him. It's just a few minutes' walk to the AO Arena. Tom shared his pictures with the Manchester Evening News. He said: "I was just going shopping into the city centre. I was walking up a path and as I got around the corner, it was just standing in the pathway. I just stopped. I didn't want to carry on walking towards it because there is a road on the other side and if I scared it, it's going to run potentially into the road. READ MORE: LIVE updates as M60 drivers face long delays following serious crash which saw seven taken to hospital READ MORE: LIVE updates as the Red Arrows fly over the North West "I stood still watching it for a while. It came onto the path and started walking towards me. It was quite a nice experience, actually. It was a very nice experience, seeing a creature like that in the city centre. It was quite surprising. I've seen urban foxes before but I've never seen a deer. "It's quite a shy animal to be so close to an urban area." It's not the first time deer have been spotted in urban areas, but rarely has one so young come so close to Manchester city centre. In 2021 a deer was spotted near HMG Paints in Collyhurst Road gambolling in the grass near the factory near a stretch of the River Irk near Cheetham Hill. Staff at the company had previously seen fish, stoats and even otters but never deer. In 2019 a deer was spotted swimming alongside the ducks in a canal near Castlefield. The animal was later spotted heading towards the Palace Theatre with more sightings on Oxford Road. An otter was spotted in in a stretch of the Irwell, close to Manchester city centre, in June 2023. The animal was seen underneath the Trinity Bridge close to the Lowry Hotel. It followed a previous otter sighting in December 2020 which at the time was described as a 'big deal'. Mike Duddy, a project manager with the Mersey Rivers Trust, said then that otters and other fish being spotted had become more common as the condition of Manchester's waterways had improved. Peregrine falcons have been a feature of the city centre for years. The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester And North Merseyside is campaigning to 're-wild' Manchester, through its 'Nature Recovery Network' for the city to encourage more frogs, bats, bees, starlings and wildflowers. The trust says on its website: "Working with the Greater Manchester Ecology Unit we are looking in detail at where the different wild places are situated across Manchester, as well the distribution of a number of different plant and animal species. This information will be used to help us create a Nature Recovery Network map for the city which will identify priority habitats and wildlife corridors."

Birmingham's on-the-run bull rehomed in Norfolk after ‘unexpected' city break
A bull spotted trotting through city streets – after apparently escaping from an abattoir – has been given a new home by an animal sanctuary. The stray bovine, thought to be around two years old, was safely contained by Birmingham City Council staff on Friday after being spotted by startled passers-by in New Bond Street, Digbeth, shortly before 9.30am. Street cleaning crews corralled what the council described as the 'beautiful albeit misplaced' animal until it was checked over by an animal welfare team and then transferred to the care of West Midlands Police. Wendy Valentine, founder of the Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Frettenham, near Norwich, said of the bull: 'We became aware of his desperate break for freedom when we received multiple calls from concerned supporters asking if we could help. 'We sprang into action and negotiated with the Birmingham police, assuring them that we could give him a secure home here at Hillside. 'With nobody coming forward to claim him, they agreed that we could collect him and bring him to our sanctuary.' The bull, which arrived at Hillside at about 2.45am on Saturday, has been named Liam and will now live out its natural life with the sanctuary's 750 other rescued cattle. A video released by the sanctuary showed the bull munching hay in its new surroundings around a minute after its arrival. Council staff efforts to keep the animal and the public safe won praise from councillor Majid Mahmood, Birmingham's cabinet member for environment and transport, who wrote beside a picture of the bull on X: 'This magnificent animal seemed to be enjoying an unexpected break, but our amazing street cleansing staff weren't phased at all, helping moving it into a safe place. 'Well done to our animal welfare staff & park rangers.' Footage of the bull amid city traffic went viral on social media on Friday, prompting jokes it may be heading towards Birmingham's Bull Ring shopping area.

Boat explodes on the river and a peaceful vacation walk turns into a desperate rescue
A brave couple saved the lives of six people after a boat exploded on the River Thames. Josh Hobbs, 35, and Hannah Lloyd-Hobbs, 34, both jumped into the river to rescue four children and two adults, including an 18-month-old baby, news agency SWNS and other outlets reported. The couple said they were in the "right place at the right time" on Saturday, May 31, when they witnessed the blaze — which police described as an act of "heroic bravery." The couple were on vacation from Wales, walking their dog just minutes away from the river. Hobbs told SWNS, "We were less than 10 minutes into our walk, about 100 meters from the river." He added, "There was an almighty bang, the kind where the air pressure hits your head." Lloyd-Hobbs initially thought it was a confetti cannon, she said, but her husband suspected a gas barbecue had exploded. They immediately heard desperate cries from the boat and sprinted toward the scene. "They were screaming back to say they couldn't swim." People on the boat "were screaming back to say they couldn't swim," said Hobbs. "We tried to reassure them that jumping in the river was the better of two outcomes." Some people on board finally took the plunge into the water. "One of them was an 18-month-old — Hannah instantly dived in to grab the baby," he said. Holding his dog's leash, he shouted for the others to get off the boat while his wife helped the baby onto the bank, he said. She told SWNS, "I handed the child to Josh before getting out myself." He then jumped in to help the other children, three of whom reportedly couldn't swim. "I remember grabbing two young children and getting them to the bank, then going back for more," he said. He noticed a family member desperately holding a three-year-old and said, "I grabbed the child as well." "At one point, I had four people hanging off me." He also described seeing a woman struggling underwater and pulling her to safety. "I think her husband panicked and grabbed me, too," he said. Treading water and shouting for help, Hobbs managed to get the three-year-old to another bystander while his wife stayed with the baby. "At one point, I had four people hanging off me," Hobbs recalled. The explosion was heard for miles, drawing a crowd that helped pull everyone from the water and administer first aid, SWNS reported. The group felt relief only when air ambulance crews arrived on the scene. Wiltshire Police confirmed five adults and four children, aged 18 months to seven years, ended up in the water. Nine people were hospitalized, with three in stable condition. Some suffered potentially life-changing injuries, SWNS reported. Detective Superintendent Joe Garrity of the Wiltshire Police Department said, "It is a miracle there were no fatalities … Much of that must be put down to the response of two [vacationers] from Wales who happened to be passing." "With no thought for their own safety, they jumped into the Thames to help save the lives of those involved." "It is a miracle there were no fatalities." Hobbs said they've stayed in contact with police to check on those rescued. "In the heat of the moment, we just did what we did," he told SWNS. Lloyd-Hobbs added, "We hope the families are doing OK and wish them a speedy recovery."
