Britain-s nature year, from the first flower to the last leafWith a mix of evocative writing, beautiful photographs and facts that are too good to keep to yourself, this book explores 50 magical moments that define our seasons. It-s an inspiring guide to connecting with the nature around you and seeing how it changes through the year. There-s butterflies, blossom and bluebells. There-s foxgloves, flying ants and fungi. There-s snow, seedheads and shadows. You-ll discover how many miles an hour spring moves, how spiders can heal us and how woodpeckers help to protect sensitive technology.The inspiration behind the book is partly the National Trust-s hugely successful ''Blossom Watch'' campaign, launched in March 2021. Each year we are encouraged to notice and share when we first see tree blossom, emulating the Japanese tradition of ''Hanami''.
