1. Four signs were unveiled in London after it was discovered there was a thriving population of hedgehogs in the area. It's thought that around 150,000 hedgehogs are killed on UK roads every year. The hope is that these signs will help drivers and pedestrians keep an eye out for hedgehogs crossing the road in the area. It is hard to say exactly how many hedgehogs there are in the UK now, but conservationists believe the population has dropped a lot in recent years. The Department for Transport, who approved the designs in December 2023, said it is down to local authorities to roll out the official signs. Conservationists hope the signs, along with other schemes aimed at helping hedgehogs will boost the UK's population.

2. 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL EARNS ‘BLACK BELT’ OF FISHING, BECOMING MASTER ANGLER OF MARYLAND (US) ***Angler - a person who catches fish as a hobby

3. A story coming from Maryland celebrates the depths of a young girl’s talents, as a 12-year-old fishing enthusiast who received honors from the state. Dubbed the “black belt of angling” Lucy Moore was awarded the Master Angler Award after a year of chasing rare catches with her dad. Moore has been interested in fishing since age 3 when she earned the nickname the “Blue Gill Queen,” owing to an early childhood knack for catching the species. She loves exploring the outdoors and learning about the fish she’s chasing.

4. A fishing trip in the rain and fog on a lake in Kentucky, a tug on her line led Moore to reel in a 24-inch, or “trophy size” musky, one of the 60 different species one can seek to catch to become certified as a Master Angler in the state of Maryland. We’re talking almost 30 hours of fishing for that one fish and she was the one to catch it, which made it extra special. Typically people focus on two or three species & she's got 10 that are all trophy size so it's doubly impressive.

5. The FishMaryland program from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources manages the Master Angler certification as a way of celebrating the freshwater diversity of Maryland’s rivers, streams, and lakes. To earn the award, one must catch a trophy-size fish of 10 different species. Her award was presented during a ceremony with custom fishing gear, a $250 gift card, and an opportunity to feed the fish in the tank—something she especially enjoyed owing to her desire to become a marine biologist.
