More than two years ago one of the "most important places in Europe" for wildlife was destroyed by fire.

A blaze, started deliberately, ripped through 10 hectares of the Neston reedbed marshland on the Wirral Peninsula in March 2022.

Three 15-year-old boys were handed nine-month referral orders for arson and damage of a site of special scientific interest last year.

The RSPB has said "nature is bouncing back" as they announced new measures to prevent future fires and anti-social behaviour.

Secondary succession is a hell of a natural force.
