Experts say the unusually hot summer means migratory birds are arriving in Britain weeks too soon.

The arrival of the birds, which travel thousands of miles to reach winter breeding grounds, is sparking concern they will be disturbed by holidaymakers who are occupying their usual beaches and resting sites.

It comes as conservationists warn early blackberries, conkers and even seals pupping at different times are all warning signs of climate change.

I really hope we can stay motivated to mitigate this.
