Nature-themed mural painted alongside the River Avon in Bath
Four young artists developed the artwork during workshops held for those 'not in education, employment or training (NEET)' and it aims to connect the community and visitors to the natural environment. Ruby Sant, director of Little Lost Robot, said: "It's a great opportunity for emerging artists to get paid employment, delivering artwork for the public [and] starting off careers in the arts."Mr May added: "I would encourage residents and visitors to explore the Bath River Line and take a look at this wonderful artwork which celebrates the natural environment of our river banks."
'Enjoyed by everyone'
Construction recently started on Phase One of the Bath River Line project, between Windsor Bridge and Green Park, with improved access, new seating and ecological planting. Sarah Warren, cabinet member for Sustainable Bath and North East Somerset, said: "The Bath River Line supports the council's vision of being Nature Positive by 2030 by creating and enhancing the natural habitats along the river to improve biodiversity and climate change resilience and provide social spaces that can be enjoyed by everyone."Work will continue on the River Line into August, with further phases to be delivered beyond that.

£13m scheme boosts rare wildlife but experts warn ‘time running out' for nature
The Government's nature boss has warned 'time is running out fast' to halt declines in wildlife, as results from a £13 million scheme show it is possible to help threatened species. The Species Recovery Programme's capital grants scheme, which ran from August 2023 to March 2025, saw Government nature agency Natural England invest in targeted conservation efforts to help rare wildlife such as water voles, oystercatchers and lady's slipper orchids. Natural England said the scheme supported the recovery of more than 150 species, many of which were on the brink of national extinction, through creating habitat, captive breeding and translocating wildlife to help it expand into new areas, and research. The scheme has scored successes including the first wild-hatched red-billed chough chick fledging in Kent for more than 200 years, the reintroduction of black grouse to the North Yorkshire Moors and the return of the large marsh grasshopper to the Norfolk Broads after 85 years, Natural England said. Tunnels have been installed under a road in Berkshire to allow adders to cross, disused buildings have been made ideal for bat breeding in Sussex and the first example of lady's slipper orchids naturally propagating in the wild has been recorded in Yorkshire. The scheme invested in 63 different projects from the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall to Cumbria and Northumberland, working with 78 organisations to create or enhance 2,400 hectares (5,900 acres) of wildlife-rich habitat. That includes 143 'leaky dams' to support Atlantic salmon, white-clawed crayfish and freshwater pearl mussels, at the same time as reducing flood risk and improving water quality. And more than 15,000 individual animals and plants were translocated to expand species' territories, as well as captive breeding more than 12,000 individuals including invertebrates, mammals and birds. Natural England chairman Tony Juniper said the success of the programme showed nature could be restored, but warned there was a need for more projects, more volunteers and more money, particularly from the private sector. And there needed to be action to improve the environment, such as reducing pollution. He will tell an event on Wednesday to mark the success of the grant scheme held at Brandon Marsh, Warwickshire, where rare bitterns are staging a comeback: 'A rising number of nature recovery projects, both large and small, are making a huge difference up and down the country. 'The success of this programme is an example of how much we can do when we take a joined up, collaborative approach to restoring the natural world. 'We know we can turn round species decline and improve ecosystems with the right targeted actions, the drive and the funding. 'But time is running out fast – turning round nature's decline needs to be a collective endeavour, so this is not just the preserve of dedicated specialists. 'Nature recovery work needs more projects, more volunteers and more money to flow from all sources, particularly the private sector. 'It will also need to go hand in hand with improved environmental quality, including through reduced pollution.' The Government is set to publish a revised environmental improvement plan in the autumn to deliver legally binding green targets, after the Office for Environmental Protection watchdog said the previous government was largely off-track to meet the goals. Mr Juniper said the publication would be a 'key moment', warning there needed to be increased ambition on species recovery, in particular what could be done on some of the wildlife England has lost. 'In the coming years, habitat management and creation alongside species reintroductions could be a real game changer for the health of ecosystems and help us achieve the country's legally binding targets,' he said. Natural England is also publishing a threatened species recovery actions guide detailing how to support more than 1,000 of England's most threatened species, from the small pearl-bordered fritillary butterfly, corncrake and natterjack toad to tiny lichens. Richard Benwell, chief executive of the Wildlife and Countryside Link coalition of conservation groups, said: 'Today's results prove species conservation works – but it's still run on a shoestring, with short-term pots of money far from enough to halt nature's decline. 'Government must boost public funding and mandate private investment to multiply this impact tenfold. 'The new environmental improvement plan should also lock in a long-term pipeline of funding for species and the habitats they rely on, combining public and private finance to turn one-off wins into lasting recovery.'

The Yorkie is at risk of EXTINCTION: Yorkshire Terriers – once loved by celebrities like Audrey Hepburn – have declined in popularity by 80% since 2013 as Brits shun the traditional pup for more 'fashionable' breeds
They're the small and scrappy mutts that make the perfect pint–sized companion. But Yorkshire Terriers could be at risk of extinction thanks to a huge decline in popularity, vets have warned. The breed – once loved by celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn and Simon Cowell – have seen their registration numbers drop by 80 per cent since 2013. And experts say it's because owners are shunning the traditional pooch for more 'fashionable' dogs. Fondly known as the 'Yorkie', the breed dates back to the mid–1800s when Scottish labourers travelling to work in the mines and cotton mills of Yorkshire brought their terriers with them. Despite its working class origins it soon became popular with ladies as a house pet and lap dog. They are so pampered that today, it is the only breed which is exhibited on a decorative box in the show ring at Crufts. While once highly sought–after, Kennel Club registrations indicate that the pedigree subset of the breed is in significant decline, dropping sharply from 0.93 per cent of all registrations in 2013 to just 0.18 per cent of all registrations in 2022. This means the pedigree Yorkie may soon be classified as a 'vulnerable breed' that is close to extinction, experts from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in London said. The 'purebred' Yorkshire Terrier is defined as not weighing more than 3.2kg. Meanwhile the wider population of Yorkies are a 'very different type of dog' with a much larger body size, averaging around 5kg. The overall levels of ownership for the non–pedigree Yorkies are much higher – around 2.15 per cent – but they have also experienced a drop in popularity in recent decades. Experts are now urging the British public to 'reembrace the pet Yorkie' as analysis shows they are largely healthy dogs who live relatively long lives. Data collected from more than 28,000 Yorkshire Terriers reveals they have an average lifespan of 13.56 years – substantially longer than the 12–year average for dogs overall. However, the breed is especially prone to dental disease, with owners encouraged to be vigilant about their dogs' oral hygiene. Dr Dan O'Neill, Associate Professor of Companion Animal Epidemiology at the RVC and lead author of the paper, said: 'This new study provides good news that the general pet population of Yorkshire Terriers are robust dogs with long lives, whose welfare can benefit further from extra attention to good dental hygiene. 'Perhaps it is time for us all to reembrace the pet Yorkie as a good choice of breed to acquire.' Dr Alison Skipper, Veterinary and Research Advisor at the Kennel Club, added: 'This new study confirms that "Yorkies" are a good choice for someone wanting a healthy pet with low levels of breed–related disease.' One firm fan of the breed was British actress Audrey Hepburn, whose Yorkshire Terrier, Mr Famous, travelled with her to be on location for films. Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, meanwhile, has previously shown off his Yorkshire Terriers Squiddly and Diddly. According to The Kennel Club, Yorkshire Terriers are suitable for people who live in a flat or apartment and only require up to 30 minute of exercise per day. However, they have long coats and need to be groomed daily. The findings were published in the journal Companion Animal Health and Genetics. A genetic analysis of the world's oldest known dog remains revealed that dogs were domesticated in a single event by humans living in Eurasia, around 20,000 to 40,000 years ago. Dr Krishna Veeramah, an assistant professor in evolution at Stony Brook University, told the Daily Mail: 'The process of dog domestication would have been a very complex process, involving a number of generations where signature dog traits evolved gradually. 'The current hypothesis is that the domestication of dogs likely arose passively, with a population of wolves somewhere in the world living on the outskirts of hunter-gatherer camps feeding off refuse created by the humans. 'Those wolves that were tamer and less aggressive would have been more successful at this, and while the humans did not initially gain any kind of benefit from this process, over time they would have developed some kind of symbiotic [mutually beneficial] relationship with these animals, eventually evolving into the dogs we see today.'

CLAUDIA CONNELL: Meghan's back, with love. And the big reveal? Harry hates lobster!
Get ready to 'elevate' that ham sandwich and scatter flower sprinkles on your spag bol, because Meghan Markle is back to enrich our lives with a second series of her lifestyle show. During the first episodes of With Love, Meghan, which aired in March, the duchess's culinary tips included how to plate up a takeaway and tie a bow around a bag of shop-bought pretzels. And, if this trailer promoting series two is anything to go by, things look set to be just as ridiculous. In the same week it was revealed that Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal has been 'downgraded', the Duchess of Sussex shows her skills slicing bread, crumbling cheese, cutting a cucumber and washing fruit. Groundbreaking. 'There are easy ways to show up lovingly,' she tells the audience in her trademark gobbledygook, as she packs what look like Jammie Dodgers into a cardboard box and ties string around them. 'I love finding new ways to show people you care,' she trills. The eight-part series airs on August 26 and comes just five months after the first. Both were filmed at the same time. A 'holiday' special has been recorded too, for the Christmas period. Netflix will surely be hoping that this follow-up performs better than the first instalment, which was mercilessly mocked by critics and failed to crack the streaming giant's top 300 programmes. Netflix claims: 'Meghan returns with a fun and heartwarming new season, welcoming celebrity chefs, talented artists and beloved friends for hands-on adventures filled with laughter and discovery ... Meghan and her guests explore bold flavours, experiment with new techniques, and discover simple ways to add beauty to everyday life.' Special guests include: model and TV producer Chrissy Teigen, American chef Christina Tosi, British Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth, restaurateur David Chang, British-Indian podcaster Jay Shetty and former Queer Eye presenter Tan France. Not quite A-list, then, and some of her guests aren't without controversies of their own. Teigen, who is married to singer John Legend and has her own food brand, Cravings, is shown in Meghan's home 'getting creative and learning something new'. 'Little things like this make me so happy,' gushes Teigen who, four years ago, had to issue an apology for her earlier cyber-bullying of US reality star Courtney Stodden, who was then just a teenager. As well as prepping food, we see Meghan arrange flowers, sit with a potter's wheel between her legs and make what might be a tea towel (it's hard to tell). Harry is nowhere to be seen –this is Meghan's baby – but he gets a passing mention when she tells chef Jose Andres that Harry doesn't eat lobster.
