Chilean flamingos at Drusillas Park have been encouraged to breed with Barry White love songs

Seductive love songs by the "Walrus of Love" Barry White have helped encourage breeding among a group of Chilean flamingos.

Classic tunes by the late Grammy Award-winning soul singer have been piped through their enclosure at Drusillas Park in Alfriston, East Sussex, in an effort to make love blossom.

Staff at the park also played songs by Marvin Gaye alongside pre-recorded mating vocalisations to conjure up a courtship between the flamingos.

Rescue workers neared the end of the search for survivors and the dead in the Oklahoma City suburb where a mammoth tornado destroyed countless homes, cleared areas down to bare earth and claimed 24 lives, including nine children

Nottinghamshire Police said ongoing searches in the rubble of the property in Newark had "revealed" the body of a woman, which will be recovered later on Monday.
