Twitter user Sam, who's 25 and from Lincoln, posted "not going to lie but finding chicken in my veggie wrap was quite surprising."

Staff at the Ark Wildlife Park in Stickney, near Boston, offered to take the white fox and serval after they were confiscated by authorities in Belgium after being kept illegally.

The serval, an African wildcat, is often nicknamed the "giraffe cat" because of its long legs.

The fox was being passed off as a dog by its owners.

Both animals are currently in the centre's quarantine area.

Last week, staff also took in a silver fox who they've named Dexter.

Captain Matthew Flinders led the first circumnavigation of Australia and is credited with naming the country.

Some 61,000 skeletons will be removed from St James's Gardens, where the station for the HS2 rail route will be built near London Euston station.

A recently discovered coffin showed the captain was buried on 23 July 1814.

The dig began in October - one of 60 archaeological sites between London and Birmingham being explored prior to the construction of the £55bn high-speed rail line.

It was known Captain Flinders was among the thousands of people buried at the site, which was built over when Euston station was expanded in the 19th Century but it was unclear whether his body or others would be able to be identified.

A man from the West Country who's walking around the coasts of England, Scotland and Wales is in Lincolnshire for the next few days.

They started at Portishead, in North Somerset, on 29 June last year, walking anticlockwise around the coast.

Overnight, they stayed in a tent at a campsite in Wainfleet.
