Put Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in any shirt that isn't decorated by three lions and they are giants, mouth-watering commodities in the great football market. Maguire is due to have two rides in British Jumping Derby on Sunday, assuming that Two Mills Showtime and Mr Cawley qualify in today's Derby Trial. Sunday's Derby is also the target for the grey Lactic 2, who represents Whitaker's chance of recording a record fifth win. Whitaker achieved his fourth win last year on Douglas Bunn's Buddy Bunn, now being ridden by the owner's daughter, Chloe. There will be two notable absentees on Sunday: Ellen Whitaker and Locarno and Funnell's Cortaflex Mondriaan. The 25-year-old from Wigan beat John Whitaker on Lactic 2, with William Funnell third on Cortaflex Tibor. Robert Maguire was jumping for only the third time here at the International Arena - and for the first time as a senior rider - when he rode Two Mills Showtime to win yesterday's Derby Salver on the opening day of the British Jumping Derby meeting.
Could be a cater-pillar food hatching early Guillemot (Uria aalge) The most numerous UK seabird had a disastrous breeding season because of a lack of sandeels. Sandeels believed to be shifting north because of warmer sea temperatures Scottish crossbill (Loxia scotica) This is the UK's single endemic bird species, yet it may be driven out Scotland's cool pine forests are warming. Now nearly 2,000 pairs Black kite (Milvus migrans) A smaller relative of our red kite, this is a potential new arrival because of climate change Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) May be about to repeat the performance of the little egret, which began nesting here in 1996 LOSERS Spotted flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) A woodland birds in an unexplained decline. Winners and losers in a changing world WINNERS Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) Only a few pairs in 1963 but rising temperatures are helping it spread across England.
Numbers of 10 wintering wader species are dropping in Britain, and are dropping faster in west coast estuaries than on the east coast. A similar effect seems to be found with wintering wildfowl, ducks, geese and swans. The mountain birds, such as the ptarmigan and the snow bunting, and ones of the far north, such as the greenshank and the Scottish crossbill, are likely to be affected as the cool climate to which they are adapted disappears. The effect of a warming climate on habitat seems to be having a major effect on wintering birds, and mountain birds. As Europe warms, birds which nest in the high Arctic such as the dunlin, purple sandpiper and turnstone, and which for thousands of years have come to Britain for the winter, do not need to travel so far south or west. They can spend the winter in Scandinavia, or at least on the far side of the North Sea. As springs get warmer, the caterpillars on which these birds feed their young are hatching earlier, maybe before the migrants arrive.
