New additions: These Hawaiian geese, also known as nēnē goslings, have hatched at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre. During the 1950s the species was close to extinction due to the introduction of predators and the loss of habitat, but now the world population is more than 3,000 because of WWT breeding them.

Put your feet up: A sofa dumped by the side of a road in Lydbrook has become an unlikely tourist attraction. Despite fly-tipping being illegal and punishable by large fines or even prison time, more furniture has since been added and the site has become a popular resting spot. Local photographer Alex Elton-Wall has now taken the portraits of more than 140 nearby residents at the site.
