Spring is the time of year where wildlife comes to life! We see the return of some of our favourite birds, insects and all the incredible wildflowers, that have begun to bloom once more.

From the small buttercup to the luscious orchid, wildflowers come in all shapes, sizes and colours, all of which are breath-taking when they bloom. However, these wonderful blooms are not just pretty faces as they provide homes for insects and produce pollen ready for the incredible bees to harvest.

We have received some fantastic images this month! The way that our photographers manged to capture their ‘spring blooms’ is just incredible, and we can’t wait for you to see our top 3!

As always, we have received some fantastic entries that made it hard for our judges to choose however, there can be only one winner. After much deliberation the winner of May’s photography competition is…Kerrilee Barrett!

A huge thank you to everyone who sent in their wonderful images! The winner will be contacted via email with details of how to redeem their £100 optics voucher prize.
