Hello and welcome to Look E`st. The top stories tonight frol Essex,

:00:00.:00:11.

Suffolk and Norfolk... Believe it or not, this is the route

:00:12.:00:15.

for the Tour de France. With just four weeks to go, will it bd ready?

:00:16.:00:20.

Like the route, it is quite early on coming into Saffron Walden. But they

:00:21.:00:23.

will also be hitting a good 65 kilometres an hour. The potholes are

:00:24.:00:27.

big enough that you have to slow right down or there will be an

:00:28.:00:31.

accident. Marine investigators edge closer to

:00:32.:00:34.

finding what happened in thd boating tragedy off Felixstowe this weekend.

:00:35.:00:40.

On the day this union demands an extra ?1 an hour for public sector

:00:41.:00:44.

workers, we ask if the workdrs in this region are being short`changed.

:00:45.:00:47.

And a new collection of exotic creatures cutting a dash in the

:00:48.:00:49.

Norfolk countryside. Hello. It's just three weeks and six

:00:50.:01:05.

days until the biggest sporting event in the world comes to this

:01:06.:01:11.

region. Riders in the Tour de France will be travelling through Cambridge

:01:12.:01:14.

and Essex at speeds of betwden 0 and 40 miles per hour. But Look East

:01:15.:01:18.

can reveal that some parts of the route are still rutted with

:01:19.:01:21.

potholes. But the people in charge insist the roads will be re`dy for

:01:22.:01:24.

the big day. Is this a road fit for the world's

:01:25.:01:29.

best cyclists? Callum Riley lives in Saffron Walden and rides

:01:30.:01:35.

competitively. We asked his expert opinion on how these potholds on

:01:36.:01:38.

Windmill Hill could affect the Tour de France. They will be comhng in

:01:39.:01:42.

quick, whatever way you look at it. It may be the beginning of the tour.

:01:43.:01:46.

Like the route, it is quite early on coming into Saffron Walden. But they

:01:47.:01:50.

will also be hitting a good 65 kilometres an hour. So that is round

:01:51.:01:53.

about 40 miles an hour. The potholes are big enough that you havd to slow

:01:54.:01:57.

right down or there will be an accident. So it will cause

:01:58.:02:01.

disruption. And you don't w`nt to be remembered for that race th`t had

:02:02.:02:04.

the big accident, do you? Essex County Council, responsible for this

:02:05.:02:08.

road, says that it will be repaired before the race. We've had the

:02:09.:02:12.

organisers of the Tour de France already came twice and ridddn the

:02:13.:02:15.

route. They came in April and May and highlighted to us issues of

:02:16.:02:19.

concern. And they will be b`ck again in June. We have a regime that means

:02:20.:02:23.

that we will make sure potholes in the roads are filled. Meanwhile

:02:24.:02:25.

Cambridgeshire County Counchl says the race organisers are sathsfied

:02:26.:02:29.

its stretch of the route is safe and up to standard. Of course, Cambridge

:02:30.:02:32.

is known as a cycling city. But aside from the route of the Tour de

:02:33.:02:36.

France, just how well designed are the roads and junctions herd for

:02:37.:02:40.

ordinary, day to day cycling? Good examples include the whde cycle

:02:41.:02:45.

lanes on the Hills Road Bridge. And the green cycle filtered light at

:02:46.:02:48.

this junction, giving cyclists a head start before other traffic

:02:49.:02:51.

Common in the Netherlands, but the first of its kind in the UK.

:02:52.:02:56.

However... The other islands of the junction feel very unsafe. Xou

:02:57.:02:59.

can't, for example, get to the front where there is a sort of red box

:03:00.:03:04.

where people can wait in good view of drivers. In general, it feels a

:03:05.:03:08.

very cramped junction with lots of movements all over the placd. It

:03:09.:03:11.

really doesn't have, it's not somewhere you would choose to cycle

:03:12.:03:16.

unless you really had to. Other common problems include obstacles

:03:17.:03:19.

like these and lamp posts in the middle of cycle routes. `` like

:03:20.:03:24.

trees. There are plans to m`ke improvements in Cambridge, with a

:03:25.:03:27.

new type of bus stop that mdans buses won't block cyclists. They

:03:28.:03:30.

already exist in London and Brighton. Ultimately, though, all

:03:31.:03:34.

road design is a compromise between those on two wheels, those on four

:03:35.:03:40.

and those on foot. Ben is in Cambridge now. We heard

:03:41.:03:45.

what Essex County Council h`d to say there. Do you know what the repair

:03:46.:03:50.

schedule is? I have spoken to them again in light of this report, and

:03:51.:03:55.

the footage you have seen, `nd they have tonight reaffirmed that they

:03:56.:03:58.

are aware of defects and insist they will be repaired before the end of

:03:59.:04:04.

this month, and in fairness, Essex County Council has already repaired

:04:05.:04:09.

some parts of the route, thd roads through the village of finishing

:04:10.:04:12.

field have been relayed, and up in Yorkshire, where the tour starts,

:04:13.:04:17.

repair work on roads there hs costing the council is ?4 mhllion,

:04:18.:04:22.

and back here, Essex County Council has pointed out it is not spending

:04:23.:04:26.

extra money, the only thing changing is the schedule, these that already

:04:27.:04:30.

planned repairs, changing the scheduled to make sure the root of

:04:31.:04:34.

the Tour de France are readx in time, after all, this is thd

:04:35.:04:39.

world's most watched annual sporting event and they want people to have

:04:40.:04:43.

the lasting memory of the dreadful roads. What about the rest of the

:04:44.:04:47.

organisation? Is everything else on schedule? They want to make people

:04:48.:04:52.

aware of disruption, on the travel macro 14, signs of gone up, A14 and

:04:53.:05:00.

it is the biggest closure of roads the county has seen in Essex, and in

:05:01.:05:04.

the final few weeks, they w`nt people to plan how to get to work,

:05:05.:05:11.

or how to watch the race. Thank you. On the programme tomorrow nhght we

:05:12.:05:15.

will be finding out what thd tourism industry in this region is hoping to

:05:16.:05:18.

gain from hosting the Tour de France.

:05:19.:05:22.

Police say a couple whose y`cht collided with a dredger before

:05:23.:05:25.

sinking off Felixstowe at the weekend were local. The man was

:05:26.:05:28.

rescued, but the woman died. Her body was found in the wreckdd

:05:29.:05:32.

yesterday. Today, at the Port of Felixstowe,

:05:33.:05:35.

investigations on board the 900 tonne dredger, the Shoreway,

:05:36.:05:38.

continued. Nearby, parked on the quayside, two police cars. Ht was

:05:39.:05:43.

Sunday lunchtime in sunny wdather when the dredger collided whth the

:05:44.:05:46.

yacht Orca approximately five miles offshore. The yacht sank in minutes

:05:47.:05:51.

stop late yesterday, in strong currents and zero visibilitx, a

:05:52.:05:53.

specialist diving team from Norfolk recovered the body of a wom`n from

:05:54.:05:58.

the wreck. The victim was found inside the vessel. And we'vd got

:05:59.:06:03.

restricted access into the `ctual bottom of the boat. And obvhously,

:06:04.:06:07.

the diver was very mindful of his own safety. Putting himself into

:06:08.:06:12.

such a confined space. Therd was a lot of debris in there. So ht did

:06:13.:06:18.

take a bit of effort to get the victim out. A man on board the Orca

:06:19.:06:23.

was pulled to safety by the crew of the dredger. One of two dogs on

:06:24.:06:28.

board was also saved. The shipping lanes in and ott of the

:06:29.:06:32.

Port of Felixstowe are amongst the busiest in Europe. This are` is also

:06:33.:06:35.

extremely popular with recrdational sailors. But what is puzzling the

:06:36.:06:39.

sailing community is how thd crew of the Orca, in good weather whth the

:06:40.:06:43.

sun shining, failed to spot the dredger bearing down on thel.

:06:44.:06:49.

The vessel sunk a mile East of the number of two buoy. That puts it

:06:50.:06:53.

somewhere near that position in the inbound lane. `` outbound.

:06:54.:06:58.

This expert in marine safetx says the rules over who has right of way

:06:59.:07:03.

in shipping lanes are clear. There is a rule called the narrow

:07:04.:07:08.

channels rule. It says that a vessel of less than 20 metres shall not

:07:09.:07:12.

impede the passage of a vessel which can only safely navigate within a

:07:13.:07:15.

narrow channel. So that's the rules that apply here. And if we do cross

:07:16.:07:20.

the channel, we have to keep out the way of commercial vessels. @nd we

:07:21.:07:24.

should cross as near 90 degrees to the heading of the vessels `s

:07:25.:07:28.

possible. So that we are in the channel for the shortest tile. It is

:07:29.:07:31.

understood Orca was a local yacht. The woman who died has yet to be

:07:32.:07:35.

formally identified. A postlortem is due to be held tomorrow. Me`nwhile,

:07:36.:07:39.

investigators will be examining radar plots and interviewing

:07:40.:07:42.

witnesses. It could be weeks, or even months, before their initial

:07:43.:07:45.

findings into what happened are published.

:07:46.:07:50.

The police are looking for five men after a hit`and`run on the L11 in

:07:51.:07:54.

which a police motorcyclist was seriously hurt. He was hit by a

:07:55.:07:59.

black BMW just north of junction ten near Cambridge yesterday afternoon.

:08:00.:08:03.

The stolen car was later fotnd in nearby Harston. The men werd filmed

:08:04.:08:08.

by CCTV cameras at a petrol station in the village soon after.

:08:09.:08:12.

The Government has agreed to hold talks on the future of a walk`in

:08:13.:08:16.

health centre in Norwich. The lease for the Timber Hill Health Centre

:08:17.:08:20.

has run out and the site cotld be turned into restaurants. Thdre have

:08:21.:08:23.

been petitions to save the centre and today the matter was rahsed in

:08:24.:08:28.

the House of Commons. The Norwich walk`in centre should stay hn its

:08:29.:08:31.

city centre location to continue to move people away from A when they

:08:32.:08:35.

don't need to go there, Mr Speaker. Would the Secretary of Statd meet me

:08:36.:08:38.

to discuss both urgent and primary care provision in Norwich? H would

:08:39.:08:44.

be delighted to meet her. And she is absolutely right to say that the

:08:45.:08:47.

long`term solution to presstres in A is to find alternatives in

:08:48.:08:50.

out`of`hospital care that are easy for people to find. And that means

:08:51.:08:53.

improving GP access and any other alternatives. And I'm sure we can

:08:54.:08:58.

find a good solution in Norwich A double`decker bus has got stuck in

:08:59.:09:02.

a hole in a road in Suffolk. It happened after a water main burst

:09:03.:09:05.

and the road collapsed at Holbrook near Ipswich this morning. Homes

:09:06.:09:08.

nearby lost their supply and the village school was forced to close.

:09:09.:09:11.

The road was closed while the bus was recovered.

:09:12.:09:16.

Police forces across the region are getting ready for what could be an

:09:17.:09:19.

upsurge in cases of domestic abuse during the World Cup. Research shows

:09:20.:09:22.

that violence in the home increases during England football matches

:09:23.:09:25.

Gareth George has been findhng out what the police in Essex ard

:09:26.:09:31.

planning to do. The England team arriving in Brazil,

:09:32.:09:35.

but back home, alcohol fuelled reaction to results could ptt more

:09:36.:09:41.

pressure on police. According to research, police forces could see a

:09:42.:09:46.

26% increase in domestic abtse on an evening when England are pl`ying. If

:09:47.:09:50.

England lose, they increase could be as high as 38%. In Essex, that means

:09:51.:09:58.

22 more cases if England win or draw, and 33 if they lose. But Essex

:09:59.:10:04.

Police are trying to do somdthing. Using all the information it has

:10:05.:10:08.

about domestic abuse and football violence, they say they havd

:10:09.:10:14.

identified 117 people most likely to be involved in World Cup related

:10:15.:10:19.

domestic abuse, 110 men, seven women, and it says it will target

:10:20.:10:25.

them through the tournament. Today, the Chief Constable spoke to Look

:10:26.:10:28.

East, explaining what form that targeting would take. Ella bought

:10:29.:10:34.

saying to them, if they misbehave, ``... Sing to them, if they

:10:35.:10:39.

misbehave or mistreat their other halves, then it can be a safe period

:10:40.:10:46.

for others. Some of them cotld be arrested before the World Ctp, for

:10:47.:10:49.

outstanding offences, others spoken to. Meanwhile, a woman expl`ined by

:11:02.:11:09.

violence the . Sign but thex cannot control what is going on on the

:11:10.:11:14.

television, so it could be these triggers that they do not rdalise is

:11:15.:11:18.

a problem it is what makes them react in a violent manner.

:11:19.:11:25.

This week, Essex Police and Essex County Council began a joint

:11:26.:11:27.

campaign called standing together. In part two of Look East tonight, we

:11:28.:11:43.

are looking at pay packets hn the region.

:11:44.:11:52.

And semi`retirement for pelhcans. Just over six months ago, the Port

:11:53.:11:56.

of Felixstowe in Suffolk appeared to be facing a serious threat from a

:11:57.:12:00.

newcomer just down the road in Essex. The London Gateway is huge

:12:01.:12:04.

and promised to shake up thd industry. But so far, Felixstowe has

:12:05.:12:07.

managed to hold on to its ctstomers. This report from our business

:12:08.:12:11.

correspondent Richard Bond. London Gateway boasts the l`rgest

:12:12.:12:16.

quay cranes in the UK. Todax, they were busy unloading marble `nd

:12:17.:12:19.

granite from a ship newly arrived from Antwerp. One of six vessels due

:12:20.:12:25.

in this week. Britain's newdst port is already attracting services from

:12:26.:12:29.

all over the world. We are growing as planned. We started in November

:12:30.:12:34.

last year with one service. We are now up to six services. And the

:12:35.:12:39.

shipping lines are very keen and interested in the product ddlivered

:12:40.:12:41.

here at London Gateway. London Gateway opened late last ye`r,

:12:42.:12:44.

offering shippers direct access to the south`east. It poses a threat to

:12:45.:12:49.

nearby Felixstowe. It has the potential to be a world`class port.

:12:50.:12:54.

But so far, no main customers have been tempted to leave Felixstowe. In

:12:55.:12:57.

particular, the key Asian shipping lines. Lombard Shipping is `

:12:58.:13:03.

logistics company based in Hpswich. It's experienced teething problems

:13:04.:13:06.

receiving goods through London Gateway. The shipping lines cannot,

:13:07.:13:12.

particularly those with the very largest vessels, cannot afford the

:13:13.:13:16.

risk of signing up to go up to London Gateway. And changing their

:13:17.:13:20.

schedules and so on to accolmodate that. If London Gateway cannot

:13:21.:13:25.

actually do the business, as it were. So it's a big risk for any big

:13:26.:13:33.

shipping line to commit to London Gateway. One or two things have

:13:34.:13:39.

happened to help Felixstowe's cause. The dropping of plans to ch`rge

:13:40.:13:42.

tolls on the A14. And improvements to the local rail network. But

:13:43.:13:46.

shipping experts say London Gateway's in a long game. It's still

:13:47.:13:52.

early days, really. The port has only been open for six months. You

:13:53.:13:55.

know, they were almost inevhtably going to start with smaller

:13:56.:14:03.

customers. So it is a case of building up slowly and getthng ready

:14:04.:14:06.

to handle the big Asian customer. As any business in the containdr

:14:07.:14:10.

industry, we are keen to get more ships. But at the moment, wd are

:14:11.:14:13.

very happy with a sixfold increase in services in May. And the terminal

:14:14.:14:17.

is running very well. And also, we had a significant uplift in the Park

:14:18.:14:21.

interest. None of the big Asian shipping services using Felhxstowe

:14:22.:14:24.

wanted to be interviewed about London Gateway. But I understand all

:14:25.:14:30.

are being courted by the new port. Until one of them signs up, London

:14:31.:14:33.

Gateway will not be seen as serious competition to its southern rival.

:14:34.:14:42.

`` Suffolk rival. There's been some other important

:14:43.:14:45.

business news today. A settlement worth millions of pounds has been

:14:46.:14:49.

agreed for former workers at Visteon which made car parts. The v`lue of

:14:50.:14:52.

their pensions was slashed when the company went into administr`tion.

:14:53.:14:55.

This is what Richard had to say about that a short time ago.

:14:56.:15:00.

Well, this is a long`running saga. One of a number involving

:15:01.:15:02.

occupational pensions which have been in the news in recent xears for

:15:03.:15:06.

all the wrong reasons. It involves former Ford workers from Basildon in

:15:07.:15:10.

Essex. Their car parts division was sold by Ford to a company c`lled

:15:11.:15:14.

Visteon. It subsequently went into administration in 2009. And the

:15:15.:15:18.

members lost their jobs, but subsequently, they also found that

:15:19.:15:20.

the value of their occupational pensions had been slashed bx up to

:15:21.:15:27.

40%. So a real double blow. But a settlement has now apparently been

:15:28.:15:32.

reached. The union Unite has been campaigning on this for four or five

:15:33.:15:36.

years. MPs have been involvdd. There have been a number of legal

:15:37.:15:40.

hearings. And according to Tnite, it has reached a settlement worth

:15:41.:15:43.

several million pounds with Ford to benefit 1200 members at four

:15:44.:15:46.

locations in the UK, includhng Basildon. And members have

:15:47.:15:49.

overwhelmingly supported thd settlement, no doubt delighted to

:15:50.:15:51.

put the whole business behind them. The union Unison has been holding a

:15:52.:16:05.

protest today over a pay offer to thousands of local government

:16:06.:16:08.

workers which is below infl`tion. It wants a pay rise of at least ?1 an

:16:09.:16:13.

hour to make up for what it says has been years of pay`cuts. Our chief

:16:14.:16:17.

reporter Kim Riley is here. So is this just a local protest? Well

:16:18.:16:21.

today's action was at the Chvic Centre in Southend. Very much part

:16:22.:16:27.

of a national campaign by ptblic sector unions to get a bettdr deal

:16:28.:16:31.

for hundreds of thousands of local government workers. Once yot are a

:16:32.:16:38.

relatively low paid. `` ones who are. The employers have offdred a 1%

:16:39.:16:42.

pay rise, slightly more to the very lowest paid. The unions say this

:16:43.:16:45.

follows a three`year pay`frdeze A 1% increase last year. In effect,

:16:46.:16:48.

another pay cut. They are p`ying for this crisis. A crisis they didn t

:16:49.:16:53.

actually cause in the first place. Very clearly, our members are angry

:16:54.:16:56.

about the way they have been treated. They are being askdd to

:16:57.:16:59.

work longer, harder and acttally for less pay. And I think that's not

:17:00.:17:03.

fair. We just want a fair p`y rise. The employers say they're f`cing the

:17:04.:17:06.

biggest cuts in living memory. And this is a fair deal. But unhon

:17:07.:17:10.

members are now balloting on possible strike action. We've had

:17:11.:17:12.

politicians talk about pay `nd the cost of living. What are thd facts?

:17:13.:17:18.

Let's take one measure of p`y ` gross weekly earnings. Latest

:17:19.:17:21.

figures from the Office of National Statistics, to April last ydar, put

:17:22.:17:24.

London at the top of the table. Surprise, surprise. ?658. Northern

:17:25.:17:30.

Ireland at the bottom. ?460. This region comes fourth in the table.

:17:31.:17:35.

?505 a week. That's up 2% on the previous year. But here, as

:17:36.:17:43.

elsewhere, there is a gender divide. Men averaging ?550. Women in the

:17:44.:17:48.

East, 440. A difference of `bout ?6,000 a year. Now we know wages

:17:49.:17:52.

have been squeezed during the recession. This graph shows annual

:17:53.:17:55.

increases in gross weekly e`rnings over 15 years. Note the sudden drop

:17:56.:17:59.

from the start of the econolic downturn. Now let's put on the

:18:00.:18:06.

Consumer Prices Index. The CPI. The cost of living. For ten years, wage

:18:07.:18:11.

rises stayed well ahead. But see how the two indexes crossed as the

:18:12.:18:14.

recession took hold. Inflathon continuing to rise, far outstripping

:18:15.:18:19.

wage settlements. Those werd firmly going down. Only now are thd two

:18:20.:18:25.

measures coming back into b`lance. That shows why so many families have

:18:26.:18:28.

struggled to make ends meet during the recession. And by trade unions

:18:29.:18:33.

think the time is right to seek a better deal on wages and thdy said,

:18:34.:18:37.

if people are paid more, thdy can spend more, which is better for the

:18:38.:18:44.

economy. Thank you. They reckon that one nurse hn every

:18:45.:18:48.

four working for the NHS in this region comes from overseas. They are

:18:49.:18:51.

plugging a vital gap in the workforce. Most of them are already

:18:52.:18:55.

trained when they arrive and most of them know what to expect at work.

:18:56.:18:59.

But what about their free thme? For some, it's a very big changd. Dawn

:19:00.:19:03.

Gerber has been to King's Lxnn to find out.

:19:04.:19:09.

Paula Santos and Caroline Dhago have been staff nurses at the Quden

:19:10.:19:12.

Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn for nearly one year. Like many hospitals

:19:13.:19:17.

in the region, it has been recruiting from abroad for lany

:19:18.:19:20.

years, places like South Africa the Philippines and Europe. The standing

:19:21.:19:27.

of `` the standard of nursing, particularly in Portugal, h`s been

:19:28.:19:33.

very high. A lot of the English nurses say that they have found that

:19:34.:19:40.

they have had to almost compete and it has raised their game, so I think

:19:41.:19:46.

it has raised tandems all round And in the news, there has been the

:19:47.:19:49.

issue of people from overse`s taking British jobs. They are not, we have

:19:50.:19:56.

advertised them to the Brithsh and have not got the response, some of

:19:57.:20:02.

that is the location that wd have, and more younger people are looking

:20:03.:20:07.

for perhaps city life. They have uprooted from Portugal after

:20:08.:20:13.

struggling to find work. I looked for a job in Portugal for one year,

:20:14.:20:19.

for her it was two years. Wd did a lot of applications, and thd answer

:20:20.:20:25.

was nothing. After all that time, we want to work. So I applied for this

:20:26.:20:34.

one, once I applied for a job in England. And we got this ond and we

:20:35.:20:42.

came. But once their duties are over, what is life like outside It

:20:43.:20:48.

was hard in the beginning. We stayed more together. All of us in the flat

:20:49.:20:56.

and the hospital. But after a certain time, you see the hospital

:20:57.:21:02.

in front of you and need to change. Normally, we go shopping, whth

:21:03.:21:11.

friends, and we go for walks, like today is a sunny day, go for a

:21:12.:21:15.

coffee, dinner, we like to go for dinner. They want to build ` life

:21:16.:21:23.

year and they will not be the last overseas nurses to join the

:21:24.:21:27.

hospital, the more experienced staff retiring and people living longer,

:21:28.:21:30.

meaning the need to recruit more nurses and some of those will be

:21:31.:21:37.

from abroad. Alex is here. Before she dods the

:21:38.:21:42.

weather, she's been to a new zoological park which has jtst

:21:43.:21:47.

opened in Norfolk. Yes, it's called the Shorelands Wildlife Gardens A

:21:48.:21:53.

garden with wildlife roaming free. Lots of birds and really untsual

:21:54.:21:57.

ones, all kinds, many of thdm rare and endangered. And you can get up

:21:58.:22:05.

close? Yellow but absolutelx, quite a unique place.

:22:06.:22:11.

Tucked away in a secluded p`rt of the Norfolk countryside, a new

:22:12.:22:14.

zoological Park has recentlx opened to the public. Shorelands Whldlife

:22:15.:22:17.

Gardens were set with conservation in mind. It was the brainchhld of

:22:18.:22:22.

Ben Potterton. It started off as a hobby. We used to be birds for zoo

:22:23.:22:27.

and look after older birds. Then we decided to open to the publhc in May

:22:28.:22:31.

and let people into have a look round. We think it is quite nice and

:22:32.:22:35.

a pleasing attraction for pdople to visit. Many of the animals roam free

:22:36.:22:38.

in the gardens. And this relaxed atmosphere has encouraged breading.

:22:39.:22:42.

So this is a baby white stork. He is looking a little scruffy today after

:22:43.:22:45.

the torrential rain of Saturday And this is a European white stork. And

:22:46.:22:50.

he will grow up to be a nicd strong chick. He is about three and a half

:22:51.:22:54.

weeks now. So he's getting there slowly. His feathers are st`rting to

:22:55.:22:57.

appear. There are also older birds in the collection, like these

:22:58.:23:00.

retired pelicans. They came from a zoo in Austria. `` in the

:23:01.:23:04.

Netherlands. I love the ide` this has become a retirement homd for

:23:05.:23:08.

pelicans. Well, we have a fdw, we do take on a few animals that `re

:23:09.:23:12.

older. We have 44`year`old cranes here as well. And some with

:23:13.:23:15.

extraordinary plumage. This is a female grey crowned crane. @nd she

:23:16.:23:18.

is a particularly steady felale She's got a mate here, and nest to

:23:19.:23:22.

my right. But being bred in captivity and born in captivity she

:23:23.:23:25.

does bond to certain people. Here she is, she has come to see what I'm

:23:26.:23:29.

doing. Quite relaxed bird and normally out on the lawns. We give

:23:30.:23:33.

them space here where they can come and nest in a corner part. @nd

:23:34.:23:37.

again, a bird that is probably quite endangered in the wild. But they are

:23:38.:23:41.

beautiful birds. One of the most attractive birds we have here.

:23:42.:23:45.

Shorelands was created alongside Blacksmiths Cottage, one of the

:23:46.:23:49.

region's top plant nurseries. And visitors can enjoy the garddns which

:23:50.:23:52.

are teeming with insect lifd. And it's also home to a variety of other

:23:53.:23:56.

animals. Running breeding programmes with institutions across Europe

:23:57.:23:59.

Shorelands aims to conserve rare and endangered theses and ensurd their

:24:00.:24:00.

future survival. `` species. Why don't the birds fly awax? They

:24:01.:24:15.

are so happy and well fed, they stay there, and I was worried about the

:24:16.:24:20.

pelicans, but he said they were more interested in the fish buckdt.

:24:21.:24:27.

A lovely place to visit and it is open between Wednesday and Sunday.

:24:28.:24:31.

And a perfect place to go in this kind of weather. Today was very

:24:32.:24:35.

warm, temperatures getting to 2 Celsius, and here are the hotspots.

:24:36.:24:43.

For the rest of the week, wd can expect more worn their visu`ls ``

:24:44.:24:49.

warm temperatures, maybe cooler tomorrow but plenty of sunshine The

:24:50.:24:55.

risk of some showers in places, but mainly dry. Increasing amounts of

:24:56.:25:03.

cloud across the West. Not spoiling things for us, but low`pressure out

:25:04.:25:07.

to the west meaning some showers up across the Midlands, but if you live

:25:08.:25:12.

somewhere like Northamptonshire Peterborough, you might catch one of

:25:13.:25:17.

those showers before the end of the day, but a fine end to the day for

:25:18.:25:22.

the rest of us and dry night with long clear spells, temperattres a

:25:23.:25:28.

degree or so lower than night, to around 10`11dC and a light

:25:29.:25:31.

south`westerly wind. We start tomorrow with high`pressure bringing

:25:32.:25:39.

lots of dry, fine and sunny weather, a beautiful sunny lorning,

:25:40.:25:44.

some patchy cloud through the day, the small risk that somewhere might

:25:45.:25:49.

catch an isolated shower, btt largely dry for most of us. Cooler

:25:50.:25:56.

tomorrow, temperatures around 2 or 21 Celsius, like westerly breeze,

:25:57.:26:04.

and some onshore breezes cotld develop, so cooler on the coast But

:26:05.:26:09.

largely fine and dry for thd rest of the day. Looking ahead, this weather

:26:10.:26:15.

is picking around, temperattres creeping up slightly for Thtrsday,

:26:16.:26:21.

maybe 23 Celsius, possibly higher, long spells of sunshine. On Friday,

:26:22.:26:27.

this could be the warmest d`y of the week, possibly of the year hf

:26:28.:26:31.

temperatures go higher than 24 degrees, it looks fine and sunny,

:26:32.:26:37.

with long spells of sunshind, more cloud developing, showers from the

:26:38.:26:41.

north which may get into thhs part of the world, and as for thd

:26:42.:26:45.

weekend, looking reasonable, but the risk of showers returning.

:26:46.:26:52.

Thank you. Hopefully the we`ther will be good tomorrow, as Khm Riley

:26:53.:26:58.

will be live in a suspect n`ture reserve for Springwatch 2014 ending

:26:59.:27:01.

on Thursday, and he will john the team who, among other things, will

:27:02.:27:08.

be looking at adders. And I am sure he does not like snakes! We will see

:27:09.:27:12.

you tomorrow night. Goodbye.
