Action to help 'Robin Hood' tree in Sherwood Forest in heatwave

An ancient oak tree associated with the legend of Robin Hood is feeling the strain in the current heatwave, experts have Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, in Nottinghamshire, is thought to be between 800 and 1,100 years old and has survived fires, winds and snowstorms during its long now conservationists have taken action to protect it from the latest threat - the soaring RSPB, which runs the nature reserve, said it had delivered 3,000 litres (660 gallons) of water to the tree's thirsty roots using special irrigation equipment. In a social media post, the charity said: "As the heatwave continues, the legendary Major Oak is feeling the strain and we're taking action."Thanks to the tech we've installed, we've been alerted that the ancient tree needs extra support."This is just one part of our ongoing efforts to care for this iconic natural treasure as it faces even more challenges." Visitors to the site have expressed concern about the impact of the heat on the tree, which, as legend has it, once gave shelter to the outlaw Robin Hudson said he had never seen so few leaves on the tree in the summer time."It shocked us," he added."The higher section has no smaller branches [or] twigs to produce leaves on and there's hardly any on the extremity."And Tracy Hall said she thought the tree was looking "particularly poor"."The signs that it is struggling have been there a couple of years now," she said. Last year the RSPB dispelled rumours the tree was to recent concerns about the tree's health, it said: "This watering system is just the latest development in a whole range of activity we've undertaken."We have been working with leading arborists and soil health specialists for several years, specifically focusing on the health of the Major Oak and possible solutions to the issue of soil compaction around its roots, in particular."On their advice, the vegetation around the tree is left to grow through its full cycle so its roots fully develop and help to break up the compacted soil, to retain moisture and nutrients and to enhance the biodiversity of its enclosure by attracting pollinating insects and other wildlife."The charity said it was into the third year of a root restoration programme overseen by one of the UK's leading soil microbiology specialists.

Thousands watch summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge - on what could become hottest day of year so far

Thousands of people gathered at Stonehenge to watch the summer solstice sunrise, marking the year's longest day - on what could become the hottest day of the year so far. Those gathering at Stonehenge had a warm start, with temperatures in Salisbury and Greater London reaching 18C by 5am, according to the Met Office. The Met Office confirmed "many places" in England and "one or two areas" in Wales, including Cardiff, entered a heatwave on Friday. The forecaster confirmed the highest overnight temperatures were recorded in Yeovilton, in Somerset, and Crosby, in Merseyside, both reaching 19.7C by 6am on Saturday, with towns in Cumbria and Lancashire recording temperatures above 19C. An amber heat-health alert is in place for all regions in England over the weekend. Solstice events at Stonehenge are some of the rare occasions when visitors are allowed to get close to the stones at the World Heritage site, which was built to align with the sun on the solstices. Solstices are believed to have been celebrated at Stonehenge for thousands of years. The summer solstice sees the sun rise behind the Heel Stone, the ancient entrance to the Stone Circle, with rays of sunlight being channelled into the centre of the monument. It takes place as one of the Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt towards the sun as it reaches its highest position in the sky, giving the longest period of daylight for the year and signifying the end of spring. It comes as scattered thunderstorms are set to hit the UK amid continued high temperatures on Saturday, with 34C possible in some areas. The yellow weather warning for thunderstorms covers all of northern England, from Nottingham to up above Newcastle, and will come into force from 3pm and last until 4am on Sunday. The Met Office warned the most intense storms could produce "frequent lightning, large hail and gusty winds, as well as a chance of flooding. Parts of eastern England could see temperatures beat the 32.2C seen on Thursday, making it the hottest day of the year so far. There will also be very high UV and pollen levels across the country, the Met Office said.
