These peregrine falcon chicks look less than impressed as they are weighed, measured and ringed at Salisbury Cathedral. The chicks were carefully checked over by Ed Drewitt and his team from the British Trust for Ornithology. The youngsters, who were found to be two boys and two girls, were carefully removed from their nesting box at the top of the Cathdral's lofty tower, before being returned no worse the wear for the experience. This is the second time since 1953 that peregrines have successfully hatched eggs at Salisbury Cathedral. Last year three offspring fledged and this year the eggs were laid over Easter before hatching at the start of May.

NASA's Hubble Shows Jupiter's great red spot is smaller than ever measured - 15 May 2014
Scientists announced Thursday (15 May) Jupiter's trademark Great Red Spot - a swirling anti-cyclonic storm larger than Earth - has shrunk to its smallest size ever measured.
According to Amy Simon of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, recent NASA Hubble Space Telescope observations confirm the Great Red Spot now is approximately 10,250 miles across. Astronomers have followed this downsizing since the 1930s.
Historic observations as far back as the late 1800s gauged the storm to be as large as 25,500 miles on its long axis. NASA Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 flybys of Jupiter in 1979 measured it to be 14,500 miles across. In 1995, a Hubble photo showed the long axis of the spot at an estimated 13,020 miles across. And in a 2009 photo, it was measured at 11,130 miles across.
Beginning in 2012, amateur observations revealed a noticeable increase in the rate at which the spot is shrinking - by 580 miles per year - changing its shape from an oval to a circle.

Swan Upping on the River Thames between Shepperton Lock and Windsor, Britain - 18 Jul 2011
Swan Upping dates from medieval times, when The Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans which were considered an important food source for banquets and feasts. Today, the cygnets are weighed and measured to obtain estimates of growth rates and the birds are examined for any sign of injury, commonly caused by fishing hook and line. The cygnets are ringed with individual identification numbers by The Queen's Swan Warden, whose role is scientific and non-ceremonial. The Queen's Swan Marker produces an annual report after Swan Upping detailing the number of swans, broods and cygnets counted during the week.

Baby penguin being handreared at Paultons Park, Romsey, Hampshire, Britain - 02 Jun 2010
BABY PENGUIN THRIVES AS HE PILES ON THE POUNDS
This baby humboldt penguin is piling on the pounds after being handreared by keepers at a zoo who have to weigh it daily to ensure it gets enough food.
The cute youngster's mum laid two eggs but had previously struggled to cope with two chicks so keepers decided to try rearing one themselves.
The new arrival is currently living in an incubator alongside a stuffed toy penguin for company at Paultons Park in Romsey.
The park will hold a competition to name their new arrival once a DNA test on its feathers reveals its gender.
This is likely to take a further two months, when it will grow its first waterproof coating and will be allowed to join its mum and dad back in the main pool.
It will be introduced to the water slowly, starting with just an hour a day.
The penguin - who is currently just five weeks old - will be fed liquidised fish through a syringe before moving on to slices of spratts and finally complete fish.
Senior keeper Marc Bignell, 36, said: "We have put a stuffed toy penguin in the incubator to keep him company. He likes to snuggle up next to it and seems very happy.
"We weigh him every morning and feed him ten per cent of his body weight three times a day but he never seems to think it is enough.
"It is heartbreaking when you put him back down after meal times, having given him plenty, and he screeches out for more.
"He is making very good progress and I look forward to being able to introduce him to his parents and the main pool."
The other chick was allowed to remain with its parents, aged five and eight years, but sadly died.
