March’s photography competition theme was ‘Signs of Spring’, and we received a delightful array of uplifting images, which demonstrated the wondrous nature of this season.

Is it a bird, is it a plane? Well, it's probably a bird...but which one is it? Do you know your swifts from your swallows?

Despite March being the start of a difficult time for the entire country, we had some beautiful entries in our photography competition to help keep smiles on our faces.

In Spring time, the forest floor is a carpet of colour. From blues, purples, green and white, the flowers come into bloom and the wildlife flock to the sweet nectar.

May is always a lovely month for wildlife. Whatever the weather, the circle of life moves forward and nests are built, breeding season continues, fledglings start to appear, and families explore…

Have you heard the familiar whirr of bees buzzing around your garden yet? Many species emerge in spring to gorge on early nectar and find nest sites, so it’s the perfect time to go on a little bee…

With another scorching week in April, the flowers came into full bloom, birds began to breed and the whole of Brockholes just burst with light, colour and love.

We waited with bated breath for the first signs of spring, and when they arrived, their colour and sound sung loud and clear. The season is finally here.

As the sun breaks through and the frost drips from the leaves, the land thaws into beautiful, bountiful Spring.
