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.

The fact that this is being billed as 'a treat for nature lovers' and not 'a sign of how we're destroying the planet' is a big part of the problem.
