Simply create a wild patch, record its location online and encourage much-needed natural insect prey and nesting materials for native hedgehogs

This July, gardeners, families and individuals are being urged to create wild patches as part of a new campaign to make more spaces with natural insect food and nesting materials for native hedgehogs.

The new ‘Go WILD for Hedgehogs’ campaign from Hedgehog Street – run by wildlife charities People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) – simply involves leaving a wild, undisturbed patch in a garden and recording its location online. Not only does this create much-needed food and shelter for hedgehogs, but also tells conservationists at PTES and BHPS where hedgehog havens are, and where more are needed.

Seen on a couple of occasions and have been leaving food and water out since. The food has been disappearing so hopefully being eaten by the correct critter.

Look after our prickly friends; They're endangered.

Sleigh’s career as an artist had one sole throughline: fairies. Some of his interest in Fairyland evidently stemmed from medical trauma. In the late 1890s, he developed an abscess in his inner ear. Doctors trepanned him, drilling a hole in his skull, and, ever after, he would see otherworldly things.

• Add correct extension if missing on new archive name
• Improve version checks and allow immediate download

At least, that seems to be the case. I've seen several times now that it doesn't autofill, and fiddling with the URL has kicked it into life. Today I realised that it appears to only work if the URL ends in a slash.

Half a century ago, John Thaw’s flawed and fallible detective Jack Regan introduced the antihero to mainstream British TV audiences. Decades later, the show’s influence is still visible all over our modern drama series, writes Jonathan Wells
