it is something the rspb is spending £a00,000 a year to protect and reverse this trend. of this people like him are taking the eggs and preventing it is devastating. after daniel was convicted for the second time, his eggs were taken to the natural history museum's a collection in hertfordshire. this is just a small proportion of daniel's egg collection. i can see some linnet eggs, chaffinch eggs, utterly exquisite. the really great news is the entire collection has come here to the natural history museum where hopefully it will be put to good use. there were hundreds of thousands of eggs in the museum, gathered over the past 200 years when egg collecting was legal. how did you first hear about this second case? i was in new zealand, at a conference, and the police contacted us and said that the case was going ahead. would there be any potential scientific utility to that collection? i was very clear, yes, there properly was. what this gives us is modern comparative samples which we can look at alongside eggs were taken a century ago. are these eggs been used in any curr

this will help another bird charity, rspb, work with farmers to restore a part to make patches of land if we can try to make the habitat as good as it can be for them in the face of climate change we give them a better chance to survive. and that is exactly what they have done west sussex, on a huge scale. once an intensive crop or dairy farm it now looks more like an african scrubland. an english safari, no lions but plenty of turtledoves. i do not think anyone would predict that we would get turtledoves back here. the conservationists and the owner work hard to make sure that the struggling species of all shapes and sizes could thrive. it can offer food resource for a turtledove with tiny legs like that and then you have the other extreme of a stork with legs like that and they are both finding their niches here and all the food they need. 17 years ago, isabella and her husband, stopped draining their exhausted soil and quit their struggling farm and returned the land to nature. we are trying to bring back dynamism into the landscape and being very hands—off so you're letting nature

that is why conservation organisations like the rspb are restoring peat bogs, not only on their own reservesing and eroding the peat in the bog, but now we have put in these peat dams, the water is backed up behind the dams, and spread out onto this previously dry area, and you can see it is deep peat, but it is deep peat which now has stagnant moss growing on it. it's nice and wet, so not only is it protecting the peat that was there, it's now actually sequestrating carbon from the atmosphere and forming new peat, so it's now an active peat bog. so as the world works to keep carbon out of the atmosphere, these landscapes could pay a key role in storing the greenhouse gas under ground. victoria gill, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's mel coles. we have had a lull in proceedings as most we have had a lull in proceedings as m ost pla ces we have had a lull in proceedings as most places have remained dry and we've even seen most places have remained dry and we've even seen some most places have remained dry and we've even seen some sunshine, but it's all change heading into the e
