April brings us sun and showers…
Wildlife
Bird song fills the air across the country – from the dawn chorus to courtship and territorial displays. Watch the swallows, nightingales, warblers and cuckoos arrive while redwings and fieldfares leave. Butterflies and bees forage for food, frogspawn hatch into tadpoles and baby badgers may appear above ground for the first time.
Plantlife
Abundant new leaves on trees and shrubs while wild fruit trees fill with blossom, ash trees flower and yellow gorse blooms on heathland. Marsh marigold flower beside ponds and streams, primroses cluster on sunlit hedgerows, bluebells carpet the woodland floor and cowslips and orchids feature in meadows and downland.
