That is HOW to do it.
They have just blown everybody else away.
Take a bow Jarvis Cocker.

Absolutely magnificent.
A truly joyous performance.

Jarvis Cocker the worlds most unlikely frontman owning Glastonbury.
He is an absolute star.
Pulp are just brilliant.

A few years ago just 60 Desertas island land snails survived… but we’ve JUST reintroduced 1,300 to the wild 🌍
For 100+ years, they were thought to be extinct… then came a remarkable discovery! Just 60 were found on a tiny island in the Atlantic Ocean 🌊
They were flown to Chester where our experts worked to breed them for the first time ever in human care... and now the population has grown into the thousands! 📈
With the snails thriving, more than 1,300 have just been successfully reintroduced to Bugio Island - a protected wildlife haven in Maderia, Portugal.
This has to be the comeback of the century! 🐌

⚠️ SATURDAY 7 DECEMBER – IMPORTANT UPDATE ⚠️
We’re so sorry to announce that due to a severe weather warning, including very high winds forecast throughout the day tomorrow, the zoo will be closed on Saturday 7 December. This includes both daytime admissions and Lanterns & Light in the evening.
If you have tickets to visit the zoo during the day on Saturday or Lanterns & Light in the evening, please check your emails for a message from us - it contains everything you need to know.
We really do apologise for the disruption to your plans - but ensuring the safety of our visitors, staff, and animals is our absolute priority. Our dedicated animal care teams will, of course, continue to keep a close eye on all the animals during these challenging weather conditions.
We've been closely following the forecast and the good news is that today, Friday 6 December, the zoo is open as normal and Lanterns & Light will go ahead safely this evening. We're optimistic that the zoo and Lanterns & Light will also be open as normal on Sunday 8 December. Should anything change, we’ll keep you updated.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe and warm! 💚

✨ SUPER RARE ✨ The last remaining mountain bongos in Kenya caught on camera! 🇰🇪
🎥 Watch the heartwarming moment our conservationists spot one of these super rare antelopes in Kenya, Africa - a place where we’re working to protect the last 50 that remain.
To help boost the tiny population, we’re making plans with other European zoos and partners in Kenya to move 10 bongos, born in zoos like ours, to Africa. That’s why the recent birth of female calf Navari, right here in Chester, is vital to the survival of the species.
We’re also now working with Conservation AI to revolutionise how bongo species are monitored in the wild, using the latest AI tech to help protect the remaining population.
Together, we want to ensure the mountain bongo has a future in Africa 💫

This feels unlikely, but here goes: Would anyone with Oasis tickets consider swapping them for a portrait of Margaret Thatcher?

TINY NEW ARRIVAL!🦌
This baby Philippine spotted deer is one of the rarest animals you'll EVER see!
Born standing at just 30cm tall – this little guy has been named Hercules⭐
ONLY 300 are estimated to remain in the wild, so every birth is incredibly important to the future of this species...
🌱🐭Lyndia Smith retweeted
For more than 20 years we have funded, and helped to build, vital conservation breeding centres in the Philippines to stop precious species from becoming extinct 🌏
A result of these efforts saw 32 Philippine spotted deer safely reintroduced into a protected nature reserve in 2020... and since then the population has almost doubled!
A huge win for conservation! 🙌

Modern conservation zoos and aquariums are key hubs of biodiversity conservation in the 21st century!
Our recent paper with @ScienceatCZ reveals the potential of zoos and aquariums in supporting the implementation of the #GBF 🌎🐾🦭🌿

Post from a Beekeeper 🐝
“Its late, and maybe in the morning I'll delete this post, but I've just got home and for now I need to write this down.
Earlier this evening I received a message from a home owner to say they had a swarm of bees in their hedge, but they were worried about them because children had been throwing water at them.
By the time my fellow beekeeper and I arrived, what had been a beautiful prime swarm was reduced to a few hundred drenched bees, huddling limply around their queen.
I've already deleted the photos of the puddles of water, the dripping wet hedge, and the many, many dead and dying bees that hadn't been able to escape the attack; sharing those pictures serves no purpose.
We gently placed the bees that had survived into a collection box, and hopefully tomorrow, when they've had chance to dry out and settle, we'll check on them and if necessary feed them; they'll be exhausted and possibly (understandably) defensive. They've been through a lot.
Please, please, help me to educate your children, your grandchildren, your neices and nephews, your neighbours, your colleagues and your friends that a swarm of bees isn't dangerous - they're amazing creatures that are just looking for a new home.
Please don't let anyone harm them.
Just call a beekeeper who will gladly rehome them.
Please help me to spread this message and hopefully save any more bees from being unnecessarily harmed” 😢
Sad and unhappy Beekeeper

The BBC should keep this set on the iPlayer indefinitely, and it should be prescribed by doctors as an alternative to anti-depressants. #glastonbury2023 #EltonJohn
