What a wonderful time of year, especially if you do not suffer from hay fever. The Hawthorn is out making the hedgerows look white in places. If you don’t suffer from Hawthorn, I recommend having a sniff of the scent, Hawthorn flowers smell nice. Another recommendation I have is the English Bluebell with its gorgeous scent, iridescent Blue flower hanging down. What is not to like. Sadly the English Bluebell is in decline due to the Spanish Bluebell and its hybrids with English Bluebells. All inferior to the true English Bluebell.
Other Summer specialists to look out for that have returned from Africa are the Cuckoo and the Swift or screachers as they are sometimes called due to them screeching when flying around. They are actually calling to each other.
