Jayne, from Wheatley Hills, is now the driving force behind the recently formed Wheatley Hills Litter Pickers, which, after recently finding new paid work as well, has become a busy hobby for her. She set it up after she saw the extent of the local littler problem while walking her dogs, Billy, a jack russell, and Charlie, a parson’s russell, with partner Graham Harker.
Jayne said: “I was furloughed during the first lockdown, and then made redundant in October.
“But me and my partner are big dog walkers, and we were going out and about a lot with the dogs during the day. Because of that, we came across a lot of litter, and I was concerned that it was becoming out of control.
Tallinn Zoo s polar bears Friida and Rasputin decided last week that they are ready to meet up for a swim and some playing time.
The polar bears had a pleasant meet-up after their first meeting in February this year. The bears wrestled, played and swam together. Rasputin, also known as Raspi, and Friida will share the space until they grow tired of each other and begin showing it.
Friida, a resident of Tallinn Zoo since December 2002, has welcomed Rasputin pleasantly to his new home. Raspi arrived from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park as part of an European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EZEA) program in November of last year.

A Scottish captive breeding programme set up to boost numbers of a rare insect hopes to achieve a record-breaking season this year.
In Britain, the majority of pine hoverfly are only known to inhabit one small forest in the Cairngorms.
The last sighting of an adult in the wild was over eight years ago.
The Highland Wildlife Park has bred the flies since 2016 and this year a record 130 larvae have become pupae, a vital stage in them becoming adult flies.
In previous breeding cycles at the park, the most pine hoverfly larvae that pupated was 13. The flies will later be released into the wild.
