A rare lichen has been reintroduced to its historical habitat of East Anglia – with the help of some bookbinding glue.

Scrambled egg lichen, so named for its bright yellow, crumbly appearance, was once common in the Breckland region of Norfolk and Suffolk but was last seen there in 1994.

It is thought to have become extinct due to habitat loss resulting from changes in farming, an increase in tree cover and a drop in the number of rabbits.
