The industry body, UK Pet Food, estimates that we spend some £380 million a year on bird food. Separate figures suggest that amounts to more than 150,000 tonnes annually – enough to sustain three times the breeding populations of the ten commonest garden species if they relied on it alone all year round.

McIlroy said not compounding errors was key to his score-building on Thursday having birdied all four par-fives after missing the fairway. Targeting a fast start, he was forced to stay patient as he played the first seven holes in level par before picking up five shots between the eighth and 15th holes.While he admitted two under par would have been a “fair score” given his errant long game, he was buoyed by how he used the experience accumulated in 17 previous Masters starts to post a better score.”I couldn’t have asked for much more, especially after the way I started,”…

The Government has failed to send the Royal Navy in to intercept sanctioned Russian tankers “over concerns it may breach international law”. On Wednesday, Moscow sent a warship to escort two vessels through the English Channel – despite Sir Keir Starmer pledging to hit Vladimir Putin’s shadow fleet “even harder”.Just weeks ago, the Prime Minister gave the green light for Britain’s special forces to be able to capture two sanctioned Russian tankers.The Government was said to have determined a “legal basis” for how to do this.Attorney General Lord Hermer had handed the Government advice on how to block the shadow…

If any storyline is going to come close to the romance of McIlroy’s win last year, it would be 45-year-old Rose finally securing a Green Jacket and becoming the second oldest winner in Masters history.Rose was a shot behind McIlroy and Burns before dropping back after successive bogeys on 17 and 18.Nevertheless, the Englishman focused on the clear positives after finishing inside the top 10 after the opening day for the 10th time in his career.”I look at the big picture. It was a good round of golf on a day which was challenging. Small margins but overall a good…

Ed Miliband must approve drilling at Britain’s largest untapped oil field, Tony Blair’s think tank says. More North Sea exploration is “essential”, it argues, warning that the UK’s approach to energy “is increasingly out of step with global competitors”. While the UK is right to commit to Net Zero by 2050, it needs to adopt a more pragmatic approach, the report finds, explaining: “Energy is not an area where ideology can substitute for outcomes.” Drilling at Rosebank, Britain’s largest untapped oil field, with an estimated 300 million barrels, along with Jackdaw, a gas field, has been frozen after a legal…

Unpaid carers across Britain are missing out on around £160 a month because Carer’s Allowance has failed to keep pace with wage growth over nearly five decades.Analysis by Carers UK, using data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), found the benefit currently stands at £86.45 per week.The charity said that if payments had risen in line with average earnings since the allowance was introduced in 1976, recipients would now receive around £123.48 per week.This leaves carers £36.93 worse off each week.The shortfall is broadly equivalent to a typical monthly household energy bill, estimated at around £147.Carer’s Allowance equates to…

England might not play again until the summer but Thursday night would have brought a smile to Thomas Tuchel’s face.The England manager watched his side labour for goals without captain and record goalscorer Harry Kane during last month’s friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.It once again underlined Tuchel’s limited options when it comes to an alternative for 32-year-old Kane, with the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico a little more than two months away. So he would have been very happy to find out Ollie Watkins had come up with two more goals for Aston Villa in their…

One player who will carry Brazil’s World Cup hopes on his shoulders is Vinicius Jr. The forward has eight goals in 47 appearances for Brazil and has been influential for Real Madrid again this campaign with 11 goals in La Liga and five more in the Champions League.”Vinicius is a football star because of his talent,” Ancelotti said.”He’s one of the most talented players in the world, so he carries this weight because everyone expects him to win the game alone and the expectations on him are higher than any other player – maybe only Kylian Mbappe right now.” The…
