DAILY UNIVERSAL REGISTER BRIEFING UK: Deadline to apply for a proxy vote in the July 4 general election; two-day Royal Norfolk agricultural show begins in Norwich. US: The Federal Reserve board publishes results from annual stress tests on top US banks as part of the Dodd-Frank Act. ON THIS DAY In 1483 Richard III became king of England; in 1870 Richard Wagner’s Die Walküre (The Valkyrie) was performed for the first time as a single opera, in Munich; in 1959 Queen Elizabeth II and US President Dwight Eisenhower formally opened the St Lawrence Seaway, which links the North American Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean; in 1993 the US launched a missile attack on Iraq’s intelligence headquarters in Baghdad in retaliation for an alleged plot to kill former President George Bush. NATURE NOTES Prisoners at HMP Kirklevington Grange had just finished their evening meal when a rare and beautiful sight flew over their Category D prison: a flock of nine bee-eaters heading north. Though the size of a mistle thrush, the birds have a grace and nimbleness that allows them to hunt flying insects. Once they have caught their bee or wasp, they take it to a perch and remove the sting. Bee-eaters spend the winter in sub-Saharan Africa, and they have traditionally bred in southern and central Europe, north Africa and western Asia, but global warming is bringing them north. Recently the species have nested in Britain, bringing their beautiful blue, yellow, chestnut and green plumage to our skies.
