Guardian: King Harold's loss to Duke William of Normandy back in 1066 did a good job of putting Hastings on the map. Now the quiet countryside of the south coast is once again the scene of a great battle, and perhaps the start of a conflict that could last years. In the trees of Combe Haven, on the proposed site of a new link road between Hastings and Bexhill, protesters have been bravely battling East Sussex council.

Almost twice as many meadow browns were counted in the UK in 2012 compared with the previous year, and the gatekeeper and ringlet also increased, according to the Wider Countryside butterfly survey (WCBS).
