It is hard to pinpoint exactly what marks the arrival of Spring. As the world wakes after the winter shut down, shoots appear, buds form and blossom appears. Insects emerge from hibernation, queen bees bumbling sleepily from flower to flower. The dawn chorus starts to build, woodpeckers drum and birds can be seen checking nest boxes and tree holes. If I get home to find that letters have been pulled from the letter box and strewn over the path, I know that the Great Tits have started to clear their future home of items they do not want.

This is why Plantlife
