Asian hornet nests on Portland 'extremely worrying'

The number of Asian hornet sightings so far this year across the UK is at a record high.

There've been 22 since the beginning of 2023 - more than double the previous recorded high - with two nests destroyed on Portland and a third sighting in recent days.

Worryingly, in previous years the insect has usually become more prevalent in September and October.
