Conservation groups say black poplars are endangered due to felling, land drainage and habitat loss.

While most people are preparing to stay indoors as another storm approaches, others are getting ready to head straight into it.

An amber weather warning has been issued for much of Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and northern England, as Storm Boelo approaches.

Heavy rain and strong winds are expected during the second named storm to hit in two days, with gusts of up to 80mph forecast.
