Following outbreaks of avian influenza in parts of Europe, farmers in Lincolnshire are being asked to remain vigilant.
Image source, AFPThe risk of avian flu in wild birds has been raised to medium, although the risk for poultry remains low.
Last December and January, more than 30,000 birds at poultry farms in Lincolnshire were culled after three farms were infected.
Charles Row, a free range egg farmer near Horncastle, says that apart from the welfare of the birds being severely compromised the financial implications are massive:

A murmuration of starlings is always quite a sight, but what about this one against the backdrop of a Lincolnshire sunset?:

Although starlings live in this country all the year round, many thousands of the birds migrate from eastern Europe in the winter to search for food.

A project which aims to tackle domestic abuse has just been given a £1.4m grant from the government.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe project, co-organised by Lincolnshire and Sussex Police, hopes to provide more support so authorities can intervene in abuse cases earlier.
The funding will help pay for specialist one-to-one services to change abusers' behaviour, especially those who haven't been convicted of a crime, or who are at high risk of causing serious harm.
Quote MessageTackling domestic abuse is a high priority for the force and this ground-breaking project will reinforce the work we are already doing and ensure we work together at both local and national level."

A low swoop by a helicopter has made a Lincolnshire woman realise how important high-vis jackets are while out horseriding in the countryside.
A helicopter almost flew right over Sandra Murphy and her friend at low altitude, risking spooking the horses:
A decade ago, Sandra started a campaign to encourage riders to wear reflective jackets after two women died because of low flying helicopters.
She says this experience has reminded her how risky going out horseriding without high-vis clothing can be.
Quote MessageThese are the things that give pilots that extra time, and could divert from having potentially lethal consequences."

The mother of an autistic 18-year-old who was killed by a Lincolnshire woman has described the murderer and her accomplice as "disgusting animals".
Sharon Pajich, whose son Aaron was murdered before being buried in a shallow grave, says Jemma Lilley, who's originally from Stamford, deserves everything she gets for what she's done.
Lilley, 26, has been convicted of murder alongside her 43-year-old housemate Trudi Lenon at the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
Lenon told the court that Lilley had approached the teenager as he installed games on her computer, garroted him and then stabbed him three times.
A jury found them both guilty within three hours.
They're due to be sentenced in February.
A lorry driver has pleaded guilty to killing a Grantham man after driving dangerously on the A1.
Romanian national Dorel Galan, of London Road, Grays, Essex, admitted causing the death of council worker Ian Newell, 52, by driving his lorry recklessly on 9 March.
Six vehicles were involved in the crash on the northbound carriageway of the A1 near Newark, Nottinghamshire.
Mr Newell was pronounced dead at the scene.
Galan is due to be sentenced later.
The puppet has been in storage for a number of years after a previous decision not to show it to the public.

Boston may have voted strongly in favour of leaving the EU, but I'm betting Bostonians weren't expecting Brussels to react this badly...

There are calls for apprentices in our region to be paid more money, with the Yorkshire and Humber TUC saying it's unfair some apprentices are paid just £3.50 an hour.
Image source, PAIt comes as a report by the Young Women's Trust is published which says two in five apprentices are spending more money completing their apprenticeships than they earn.
The government says apprentices' pay has increased and apprenticeships can lead to higher earnings in the future.
Committing murder was on the "bucket list" of a 26-year-old Lincolnshire woman who's been convicted of murder after garroting, stabbing and burying the body of a teen in Australia.
Jemma Lilley, who is originally from Stamford, killed 18-year-old Aaron Pajich and buried him in a shallow grave covered with tiles and concrete at her home in Perth, Western Australia, a court heard.
She said she wanted to kill someone before she turned 25, and once she had ticked off murder from her "bucket list" she was so "full of herself and euphoric" that she could not help boasting to a work colleague, prosecutor James McTaggart told the court during the four-week trial.
Lilley, who was convicted alongside 43-year-old housemate Trudi Lenon, is due to be sentenced on 23 February
