Art fans are rushing to Finsbury Park in London, where a suspected new Banksy mural has appeared. Green paint on a wall behind a bare tree creates an optical illusion, and one expert says the message is clear: ” Nature’s struggling, and it is up to us to help it grow back”.

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has won over new fans in India by singing in Punjabi during a concert in Mumbai alongside Indian artist Diljit Dosanjh, leaving one fan saying it was “the crossover we never knew we needed”.

The British Wildlife Photography Award winners have delivered the goods. Our fave is The Crop Thief, depicting a hungry hare munching on some greens. How wholesome is that?
