Week in wildlife: a hedgehog's afternoon tea, royal cygnets and a snarling wolf
Briefly

The annual swan upping along the Thames involves holding cygnets for tagging and health assessments, crucial for mute swan conservation. A camera trap captured a critically endangered Sumatran tiger in Sumatra, confirming the species' presence in the Batutegi protection forest, with fewer than 400 left in the wild. Castle Farm in Kent, the largest lavender producer in the UK, cultivates over 100 acres of lavender. A grey seal pup is rehabilitated in Lithuania prior to being released into the wild.
