Spring time

 
And so comes the sweet scent and boughs of May

To wonder, walk and wish the nights away

The spring has sprung and winters done

So to the blushing flowered fields we run

The summers scents not far from us

The mown grass, warm breeze and sun we lust

And when Spring and Summer fades away

The blossoms fall in waves from May

The seasons change but we remain and wish for spring to sing again.

Things to look forward to in Spring and Summer:

Insects! Winter lacks that movement, that buzz and twitch of insects. As comes spring so does sound! The warms waves of spring awaken these creatures from their deathly slumbers. One of the first to be propelled back into the sky is the Bumble bee, A true sign of spring, a blossoming flower is not complete without one. Ladybirds, Butterflies and Dragonflies are soon to follow in late spring if warm weather persists. A must see wildlife event is he migration of Painted Lady butterflies from May-August, its spectacular....

Amphibians have already embarked upon their mating mission but look out for tadpoles and efts in ponds and lakes. Another familiar "noise" of Spring is the dawn chorus, the bird song starts ever earlier and ever louder peaking in the summer. Listen out for the Cuckoo, once common at the start of spring now they are few and far between.
