SPRING BEAUTY

By: Chris Pickering
Where: Yew Tree Tarn, near Coniston, Cumbria

“In May last year, I drove to Yew Tree Tarn, hoping to see cuckoos and wood warblers. I soon saw these amazing bluebells and azaleas at the far side of the tarn. I also heard both cuckoos and wood warblers calling at the same time. It was an unforgettable sight, sound, and smell experience!”
