Study: Glass Buildings a Top Cause of Human-Related Death Among Birds in GreeceGlass buildings and other transparent structures are the most common human-related cause of death in Greece among birds, which are unable to recognise them as an obstacle and smash into them at high speed.

Boris Johnson under fire after being spotted cycling in park seven miles from Downing StreetTrip sends ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ message, says Labour MPBoris Johnson is coming under fire after being spotted cycling in a park seven miles from Downing Street this weekend.Government lockdown guidance for England states that people may leave their homes to exercise once a day, but tells them they “should not travel outside your local area” to do so.Mr Johnson’s ride sparked anger on social media, with one Twitter user describing the prime minister as a “hypocrite” and another saying it appeared that “lockdown is just for the little people”.But Downing Street insisted he was exercising within the lockdown rules, and health secretary Matt Hancock said it was permissible to walk or ride as much as seven miles away from your home.
