More than two years after a fire destroyed part of Neston Reedbed in Cheshire, wildlife is "bouncing back", according to the RSPB.

A blaze, started deliberately, ripped through 10 ha of the site 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.

However, the RSPB has recently said that the site is recovering well as the organisation announced new measures to prevent future fires and anti-social behaviour.
