Spring has well and truly sprung with a couple of weeks of glorious weather in the UK and the continent.
Here is a small selection from a short trip to the beautiful Eifel Nationalpark on the German-Belgian border, with lush meadows dripping in springtime wildflowers and vivid dappled green woodland trails bursting with life… along with Apple tree blossom on a hot sunny circular walk around a 45 thousand year old Meerfelder Maar – a volcanic crater and lake or “Maar”.
The wildflowers and butterflies were very similar to those in the UK with cuckoo flower, dandelions, stitchwort and marsh marigolds and dandelions in the downland meadows.
