Celebrate the arrival of a new season by taking part in the Signs of Spring survey, launched by a Williton-based environmental charity.

The Field Studies Council has partnered with the Royal Society of Biology (RSB) for the project.

It allows nature enthusiasts across the UK to monitor the arrival of spring.

The survey was launched online earlier this month.

It asks for records of various spring signs, such as bluebells, daffodils, dragonflies and more.

The data will form a UK-wide biological record set to monitor climate change.

Amy Bandaranayake, the Field Studies Council’s digital learning officer, said: "Everyone looks forward to spring, when the first signs of new life help lift the darkness of the winter months.

"It will be interesting to see how things are progressing around the country as contributors enter their survey data."

Susie Rabin, associate director of communications and public affairs at the RSB, said: "Even when the ground is hard with frost or covered in snow, there will be telltale signs to show that spring is on the way.

"Getting people out to enjoy nature and the environment is very much part of the ethos of both organisations."
