First flamingo egg of 2025 laid in Cornwall
The first flamingo egg of 2025 has been laid at Paradise Park in Cornwall.
It was found on Saturday and keeper Becky Waite said the team were "very happy".
Ms Waite said the park, in Hayle, was more "hopeful" this year after the expectant parents Penelope and Colin - named after the characters on Bridgerton - lost their chick in 2024.
"Colin and Penelope are our first flamingos to lay an egg this year but we also have Derek and a Doris and we're hoping in the next week they will also lay an egg," she said.

Bargain Hunt star David Dickinson shows off £280k Bentley as he does his weekly shop at supermarket
FORMER Bargain Hunt presenter David Dickinson turned up to do his shopping in a six-figure Bentley. The 83-year-old was spotted at the Marks & Spencer Handforth Dean in his native Cheshire which he had driven to in his Bentley GT Supersport. 5 Clad in a brown leather jacket and jeans, the TV presenter pushed a trolley full of shopping towards the black convertible on Thursday afternoon. The TV icon was an antique dealer before a chance meeting with a producer at a barbecue led the BBC making a two-part documentary about him preparing for an antiques show at the Olympia. He became a favourite among viewers thanks to his appearances as an antiques expert on This Morning and The Antiques Show on BBC Two. David then landed his own game show called Bargain Hunt which cemented his status as a TV star and he would go on to front for nine years until 2003. "I couldn't understand it at first I was just doing what came naturally but everyone seemed to pick up on my catchphrases such as 'cheap as chips' and 'what a bobby dazzler'," David said of the show on his website. "I was delighted when the show won a National Television Award in 2002 and I was there to accept it." After leaving Bargain Hunt, David had a lucrative TV career which helped earn him his estimated £2million personal worth. David also competed in reality TV series, Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here the following year. "When I was asked to go into the jungle in 2005, everyone advised me against it but I thought 'I'll give it a go'," David said on his website about his stint in the Aussie jungle. "Some people go to a health farm and pay a couple of thousand pounds, but in there I lost more than a stone and had a detox, just a shame the weather was so rainy I was hoping to top up the tan." Iconic daytime TV show returns to screens after host was forced to deny he'd quit The antiques expert has long been a car-lover and has previously owned four Chevrolet Corvettes and several Rolls-Royces. He explained his love for Bentleys after getting his first one in 2003. "Bentley is a deluxe vehicle; a wonderful, classic marque. But it's not OTT," he told The Times in the same year. "The attention to detail is fantastic." 5 5 5

'Look at what they've done': Bollywood star's anguish after brazen thieves smash into her Jaguar to steal her Louis Vuitton bags in lawless London
A famous Bollywood star has told of her anguish after falling victim to London's theft crimewave when brazen crooks smashed into her Jaguar to steal two designer bags. Heartbroken Sunanda Sharma, 33, said she has lost 'everything' after thieves broke into her 2016 Jaguar F-Pace to steal her swanky pair of Louis Vuitton bags. Despairing model Sharma, who has starred in a number of hit films and is also a well-known singer, had left her motor in a car park in the capital when it was ransacked. The actress, who has struggled to sleep since the incident, broke the news of the raid in a video to her nine million-strong army of fans on Instagram 'I'm in here in London and this is the car's situation now,' says Sharma, as she inspects the battered remains of the black Jag. Appearing to put on a brave face, the star walks around the battered motor - which had its back window and rear passenger window smashed out. 'They've broken the glass and everything else,' she continues in Hindi. 'The expensive LV bags I've worked so hard to afford are gone. 'What a tragedy. Those were my favourite bags. Both of them. Look what they've done.' Holding her head in her hand, she then continues in English, saying: 'Everything is gone.' In a caption on the video, the Bollywood star added she had been left traumatised by the break-in. 'The moment I saw a bit of money, it left me I have no words for you, people of the UK. I couldn't sleep all night,' she wrote. The celebrity has since received an outpouring of sympathy from her loyal followers, with one saying: 'Love how you have managed to keep the smile on your face despite of that pain within.' Another supporter adds: 'If vibes were a storm, you'd be the thunder and lightning, illuminating everything around you! Your presence is truly electrifying!' While a third bluntly said: 'Welcome to London.' The theft come amid an on-going crimespree blighting the city, which has seen fearless thieves raiding cars in some of London's most exclusive streets. In March, a masked cyclist broke into the boot of a Tesla parked in Knightsbridge and stole a Stone Island jacket worth more than £1,000 - which had only just been purchased from the Harrods department store. In another broad daylight raid, a hooded figure was filmed snatching bags of designer goods after breaking into a Mercedes-Benz parked near Harrods. Hans Place, where the theft took place, boasts of deluxe apartments that can go for as much as £10.5million. Shocked onlookers watched in disbelief as the shameless crook swaggered away with his haul of stolen luxury goods, while a woman runs out of her house shouting 'oi!' as flees the scene. In another instance of theft, two masked cyclists smashed into the back of a car and stole a high-end designer jacket from the boot. Prepared with torches and face masks, the thieves smash into the motor and snatch a £1,500 jacket - even though a couple walking their dog stop just feet away. The Metropolitan Police said it understood 'the impact motor vehicle crime has on victims'. 'Incidents reported to police are assessed to ensure lines of enquiry, including forensic opportunities and footage, are progressed to hold offenders to account', they added. In February alone, 2,097 thefts were recorded in London's West End, which includes some of the capital's most exclusive areas including, Mayfair, Fitzrovia, Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street. It comes as Jenson Button's wife revealed she now felt 'unsafe' walking the capital's streets after her suitcase rammed with £250,000 of lavish jewellery and designer handbags was stolen outside of St Pancras station. The 34-year-old explained how the ex-Formula One driver was helping the chauffeur load the car when a man swooped in and sped away with her Goyard carry-on suitcase in mere seconds. The former Playboy model told MailOnline neither she nor her husband had any interest in returning to the UK after their ordeal, adding: 'It just feels so unsafe... and its just unfortunate because that's where my children's grandmother and aunts live.' In March, TV personality Jamie Laing revealed he had been robbed once again, just a week after his Notting Hill home was targeted by balaclava-wearing intruders. Shortly after the terrifying ordeal, where he and his wife Sophie Habboo, 30, were woken up to 6am by louds bangs, he discovered his car had been broken into. Speaking on his Radio 1 show, Jamie said: 'So, I live in London, I was with my wife Sophie and we went to get in our car. 'It's parked around the place we live, and it's London right, things maybe go missing occasionally or whatever. 'I walked up to the car, and the car looked a little bit funny, the door was slightly open, and I was like, 'hang on a second, has someone managed to get into the car?' 'Came up to the car and we had been robbed. They left the pineapple in one seat and the melon in another seat. I said to my wife, 'did you leave these in the car?' and she was like, 'no?', so I don't know if it's a sign or the mark they leave.' MailOnline has approached the Met Police for comment about the alleged theft of Ms Sharma's designer bags.

ALFIE Boe has seemingly found love again after being spotted on a romantic date around central London with a mystery blonde. The West End legend, 51, was seen holding hands with his new lady friend as they spent the day out together, grabbing lunch at Italian restaurant, La Brasseria Milanese. 8 8 8 Alfie, who has signed up to this year's series of Celebrity Masterchef, looked smitten with his new girlfriend, with the pair keeping it casual in jeans and T-shirts.

In a statement released by his representatives at the time, Alfie said: 'After speculation about my marriage to Sarah ending, I can confirm that we have separated. 'I have nothing but love and respect for Sarah who's been an incredible partner and an amazing mother to our two beautiful children and everything is very amicable.' Alfie later admitted that he went to a ' dark place' after his marriage breakdown, revealing on Freeze The Fear with Wim Hof that he spent time in a facility for depression and 'missed what he had' with his wife. Following the split, Alfie went on to date Liv Knight-Butler, a fashion blogger 21 years his junior, and threw himself into work alongside longtime pal and collaborator, Michael Ball. They completed their latest tour with a performance to thousands at London's O2 Arena in April. 8 8 8 8
