As we prepare to open our gates and welcome visitors back to the Sanctuary, the timing couldn’t be better to see the spectacle of spring in all its glory! Towards the end of March and start of April the daffodils really put on a show across the site and the blossom on the cherry and hawthorn bushes added some colour to the tree tops.
In the woodland walk, primroses and violets have made way for the large fronds of Lords and Ladies. We’re leaving some areas of the Sanctuary a bit untidy to encourage wildlife. In the pond, some of the amphibians have been busy creating the next generation of toads, frogs and newts!
Our birds have also been enjoying the good spring weather and have been getting back into routine in preparation for displays starting back soon.
