Looks like we’re in for a splash in these parts if the old saying is anything to go by. Is it the same picture across the UK? #NaturesCalendar #CitizenScience
Oak before Ash, in for a splash. Ash before Oak, in for a soak.

First few Hawthorn flowers are out but most are still in bud here. #treeflowers #wildflowerhour @wildflower_hour

2 natives and 2 naturalised #treeflowers for #wildflowerhour Field Maple, Pedunculate Oak, Sycamore and Horse-chestnut. Definitely a challenge to photo these in half a gale but great fun doing it! @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany @WoodlandTrust

It's easy to forget oak trees are flowering plants too: these are the catkins (male pollen-producing flowers) of sessile oak, which mostly lives in rougher, more rocky parts of the country.
In deeper, more fertile soils, pedunculate oak is more common; both are native species.

The very first flowers of the Hawthorn are opening! Like yesterday's cow parsley, the May is a flower associated with very inauspicious events when brought indoors.

Diary 6/5/21: Broken cumulus clouds, threatening at times. Cold again. Mega developing Purple Emperor habitat in main block of Heart of England Forest. Watch out #Knepp, this place means business. First Swifts, a posse of 4. First ash leaves.
Judith Garforth retweeted
Swifts! Swifts swifts swifts over the Dorset Frome at Ten Hatches this morning and overhead in #Dorchester this evening!
Oh joy, deep joy on their return.
Judith Garforth retweeted
First Swifts of the year 🙂. Two over Bluntisham, Cambs. Wasn't expecting them this early in a cold Spring, on a grey, rainy day! My earliest ever is 4 May.
Recorded in @BirdTrack and @WoodlandTrust Nature's Calendar.

A brand new #dinkymoira crib sheet is always a great cause for celebration 🥳 & the challenge this week is to put it to the test & see if you can identify a small flowered geranium. Share your finds for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm using the hashtag #SmallGeraniums 🌸 – at Warrington, England
