When to see - February

This month brings with it the first signs that spring is just around the corner. On bright, crisp days queen bees may be seen feeding and snowdrops break through the cold ground to reveal beautiful white and green flowers.

What to see in February

For a stunning display of snowdrops pay a visit to Walsingham Abbey (entry fee applies).
See thousands of waders feeding in the Wash at RSPB Snettisham nature reserve, golden plover at NWT Cley Marshes and hen harriers at NWT Roydon Common.
Grow your own mistletoe– berries collected in February are more likely to germinate than those taken at Christmas. Take part in BTO’s National Nest Box week and make your own nest box.
