I would love to see these, but I thought extinct meant they no longer existed so how could they come back?

They are sometimes declared extinct in a certain area - such as Scotland

then a couple wander off course and find it again

so - basically "extinct " can be applied to an area rather than overall

which is confusing

Good morning from a sunny Dorset. Two trips to the tip yesterday in a friends car. There's a great system with everything well labelled and a few people there to point you in the right direction or give a hand if necessary. Finally cleared out all the old paint tins from the shed, ( special container ) and got rid of loads including an old toilet and cistern ( another dedicated skip ). They usually charge a nominal fee for old sanitary ware but the bloke said " nah, you're good mate " as he could see it was just a one off domestic item.
Granddaughter is going to the local sports centre swimming activity for kids that runs over the Easter period. Really well organised into groups of kids who have never been in a swimming pool ( 4 ) and a slightly more advanced group ( 4 again ), and as there are two instructors for each group the kids get almost individual attention. This seems to be working as yesterday she told me she jumped in twice, and managed to swim a width. 😎. Today's breakfast request was for a cheese sandwich with the crusts cut off, this was rejected half way through eating as apparently grandpa had cut the cheese too thick🤔 I had a half hour Mandarin lesson as payment for breakfast ( her mum is Chinese and granddaughter is bilingual and has Chinese lessons ) and this afternoon we're going to visit a friend to feed and clean the tortoises 🐢
