    fuller article from BBC – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-12598054
    but no references to original paper however Robert Scotland home page suggests that a project ‘pump primed by Gatsby’ (who I assume is the student who asked the question about the trumpet) is underway: http://dps.plants.ox.ac.uk/plants/staff/RobertScotland.aspx
    The media interest was because of St Davids Day on 1st March. More in a year.
