Weekend sunshine

Everyone's waking up
With the sunshine continuing today we are seeing real signs of Spring - Chiffchaffs are in full song and these local Adders are warming up and getting ready for their next slough.

Spring arrives, and what better time to get outdoors!

So Spring has well and truly sprung across the UK as we finally (fingers crossed) seem to have left behind what was a terrible Winter for many. From Norfolk to Cornwall storms battered our coastlines and caused flooding.
While the flooding remains a serious issue in many areas the arrival of Spring, and the sun, may at last give a rest bite to the wind and rain of December-February.
So with the temperatures increasing, wind dropping and sun shining now is the best time to get outside and discover wildlife both in your garden and in the countryside.
Spring migrant birds are arriving, flowers are beginning to bloom and Sunday 9th March saw the highest temperatures of the year, up to 20oC in some places.
North Norfolk is a wonderful place to be in Spring and if you are in the area pop into The One Stop Nature Shop where you will find an expansive range of equipment from Binoculars to magnifiers to wildlife cameras which will enable you to observe more wildlife this Spring.
We also have our local bird sightings which are updated daily with birds found on the Norfolk coast.

Whatever aspect of wildlife you are into, Spring is a fantastic time of year to get outdoors and it finally seems like the weather is playing ball as well.
