Wildlife Watch - April
Some of the things happening in nature this month...
Spring is here!
April is a month of energy, growth and change in Norfolk, as spring truly takes hold. The landscape shifts almost daily, with longer, brighter days and a sense of life returning all around us.
Woodlands are bursting into colour, with primroses, wood anemones and the first bluebells beginning to carpet the ground, taking advantage of the sunlight before the tree canopy fully closes.
Hedgerows froth with blackthorn blossom, while fresh green leaves unfurl on trees and shrubs.
Birdsong fills the air as many species enter their breeding season. Robins, blackbirds and wrens are busy feeding checks, while spring migrants such as swallows and warblers begin arriving from overseas. Early mornings are especially alive with the dawn chorus.
Ponds and wet areas are full of activity, with frogspawn hatching into tadpoles and insects beginning to emerge. Butterflies such as orange-tips may be seen fluttering on sunny days, and bees are busy gathering nectar from early flowers.
April is a time to slow down, notice the small changes, and reconnect with the natural world as it wakes up all around us.
Booking and what to bring?
For all groups - Come prepared for the season and its possible weather - waterproofs, wellies, spare clothes, hats, gloves (lots of layers!) for autumn - spring.
In summer suncream, and no open toe shoes due to the uneven woodland ground and rouge nettles and brambles!
