Man, 23, spends thousands on the world’s biggest Mr Men collection… and now plans to open a theme park

THIS is the man who’s splashed thousands of pounds on the world’s biggest Mr Men collection – and now he plans to open a Mr Men THEME PARK.

23-year-old Ben Daly has spent nearly two decades collecting anything and everything to do with the childhood classic – and now he’s got almost 3,000 items in his impressive collection.Ben and his parents, Kate and Jerry, have spent the best part of £20,000 on the collection over the years – and Kate has even taken out special insurance for it to the tune of £35,000.

Ben, who has autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, fell in love with Mr Men after mum Kate starting reading them to him when he was just a tot – and he’s been obsessed ever since.

Ben, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, explained: “Mum used to read me the books, as she had loved them as a child – she said they were the only thing she could draw easily!

“Since then I’ve been hooked.-read more

Where is the Small Tortoiseshell this summer?

Gardeners are being asked to focus on their flowerbeds this Bank Holiday to look for one of the UK’s best-loved butterflies whose numbers appear to have plummeted this summer.

The beautiful Small Tortoiseshell is one of the most recognisable and widespread UK species and is a regular garden fixture in high summer.

But this year, numbers have been worryingly low as the cool spring and slow start to the summer appear to have taken their toll on the butterfly’s attempts to breed and feed.

Small Tortoiseshell sightings are significantly down across the UK and gardeners are being asked to look out for the butterfly by joining the Garden Butterfly Survey, sponsored by B&Q, to help build a picture of what is happening.

The Small Tortoiseshell has endured a tumultuous recent history. The butterfly, whose population has plummeted by 73% since the 1970s, had seen its numbers rise over the last few years and hopes were high that it was on the path to recovery.

But this summer’s poor showing could mean the Small Tortoiseshell is set for yet more years of decline.

Butterfly Conservation Head of Recording Richard Fox said: “We don’t understand what is causing the drastic long-term decline of this familiar and much-loved butterfly. Theories involve climate change, pollution and parasitic flies that kill the butterfly’s caterpillars, but we need more information.

“If you see Small Tortoiseshells or any other butterflies in your garden, the Garden Butterfly Survey -read more

Lightning Kills More Than 300 Reindeer in Rare Mass Death

More than 300 wild reindeer were recently killed by lightning at a Norwegian national park, officials say.

The Norwegian Environment Agency has released haunting images of reindeer—including 70 calves—that seemingly fell over where they stood in the grasses of Hardangervidda, the largest high mountain plateau in northern Europe.

The national park, the largest in Norway with wild reindeer populations, spans some 8,000 square kilometers (3,088 square miles) and is home to 10,000 to 11,000 wild reindeer.

While specifics on the lightning strike are still unknown at this time, it’s likely that the dead reindeer were a herd that huddled together to weather a severe thunderstorm that rolled through the area on Friday.read more
