Spring wave of hot weather to be treat for nature lovers

A spell of hot weather will give a boost to nature as migratory birds return and butterflies emerge.

With what's being called a mini-heatwave looming for the UK, it's not just humans looking forward to warmer weather.

The warm spell is expected to give a temporary boost to nature as migratory birds arrive from afar and butterflies stretch their wings.

The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) says a succession of milder winters and wetter springs are all contributing to change in the natural world.
