Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

🌸Ancient woodlands are famous for bluebell carpets in April and May — one of Britain's most spectacular wildflower displays
🐦Prime nesting season — listen for woodpecker drumming, warbler song and the first cuckoos from April
🦌Roe deer are active before the leaf canopy closes in — dawn and dusk are best
