The Jay - Britain's colourful crow
The most colourful members of the crow family, jays are noisy and flamboyant, though much shyer than the other crows. They are woodland birds, rarely moving far from the cover of trees, and therefore less seen for their attractive plumage than the other mostly black crows.
The London Array
The London Array, in the Thames Estuary, was, until recently, the world’s largest offshore wind farm - but could have been even bigger if it wasn't for some inconvenient birds.
Gustav Holst - the modest English composer of "The Planets"
Gustav Holst was an English composer, arranger and teacher best known for his orchestral suite "The Planets". Amongst his many other works, he also wrote the melody of the Christmas carol "In the Bleak Midwinter".
