Look out for...

• A FROGGY FRENZY This is a great month to take a torch out to your pond on a warm evening to look for all sorts of frog, toad and newt activity.

• ON-SCREEN ACTION Check your nest cam for the first signs of birds beginning to build their nests.

• INSECT UNICORNS The bee-fly (Bombylius major) is one of the first insects of spring, looking like a small furry bee but with a long pointed ‘horn’ sticking out of its head.
