Country diary: A jaw-dropping bounty of wildlife – and a reminder of what Britain has lost | Amy-Jane Beer
Biebrza marshes, Poland: Itâs not just the abundance of elks, orchids and eagles that sets the mind racing, itâs the wild interactions between the âexoticâ and the familiar
Have I made a mistake in visiting Biebrza national park? Not that I mind encountering more bird species in a day than I do in a year at home. Nor do I regret meeting a young elk, all gangle and improbable proportions; or kneeling before a clump of ladyâs slipper orchid in jaw-droppingly ostentatious bloom among Solomonâs seal and a carpet of lily of the valley. I definitely appreciate the homely clatter of the neighbourhood white storks, and the constant soundtrack of cuckoos and golden orioles. I certainly have no objection to watching the sunset from a wood-fired hot tub, listening to corncrakes as bats emerge and a beaver cruises past.

Russell in ‘disbelief’ over dramatic Canadian GP retirement
George Russell was left dismayed by his sudden mid-race retirement following a dramatic battle with team mate Kimi Antonelli.
Mercedes’ George Russell was left in “disbelief” following his dramatic retirement from the Canadian Grand Prix, stating he felt like “somebody doesn’t want me to fight for this championship.”
The Briton – who had started the race on pole – engaged in an epic battle for the lead with team mate and eventual winner Kimi Antonelli as the pair fought it out for lap after lap, with victory and precious World Championship points on the line.
However, that battle came to a sudden and unexpected halt on Lap 30 when Russell – by that point running in P1 – suffered a power unit failure that brought his Silver Arrow to a standstill. With Antonelli going on to win the race, the Briton was left dismayed at his luck and was visibly frustrated when exiting the car.
