The reality of lengthening days and unfolding seasons can do just this, acknowledging the presence of resilient wild species with their own measure of the world. Most wild species are keeping fairly quiet right now, their life strategies ranging from dormancy and hibernation to long-distance migration.

Of the 35 butterfly species native in Ireland, almost all are active during peak summer.

Pic: Stock image (Getty)Plans to roll out automatic “red-light” cameras at junctions in Dublin have been put on hold while the Department of Transport considers a new national strategy for the expanded use of safety cameras. The National Transport Authority (NTA) confirmed that, pending a decision on the strategy, it will not proceed with developing camera enforcement at a small number of isolated locations, including proposed sites in Dublin. The move marks a pause in plans announced last year to introduce additional automatic red-light cameras in the capital following a successful pilot at Blackhall Place. However, the NTA has now confirmed it is awaiting the finalisation of the national strategy before proceeding with further development or installation of additional cameras. The Department of Transport is expected to make a determination on the draft national camera enforcement strategy shortly.

Jacks has tried to blast Webster over the fence with a sweep and he's found Cameron Green in the outfield. He had a fair bit of work to do to get to that one and just reaches it, grabbing the ball low down while running. That almost makes up for his shocker in the slips earlier. Jamie Smith was rightly blasted for how he got out in the first innings and this is up there with it. An astonishing stuff-up from the spinner, who also cost his side with that awful dropped catch.

His father Jace revealed to the ABC that he can't watch cricket, a game he loves, in the same way since that day. 'We got his bat, his gloves, my family … just wanted to be where he last stood,' a tearful Mr Austin said last October. Ben died from an intracranial haemorrhage caused by a shocking injury to the left side of his neck. But reality soon set in after doctors told Jace and Tracey that there was nothing they could do for their son who was brain-dead.
