The Selborne Society A gorgeous place to visit for the sights, sound and the scent. Photos really can't do it justice.

This is (l to r) Sam, Reuben & Denzel of Elmhurst School in London.
They've learned the Jackdaw Spell from The Lost Spells by heart & here they are rocking it in the woods.
Poetry, outdoor learning, smiles, dance!
Will you give them a shout, tell them how awesome they are?

So glad you enjoyed your visit, Montpelier School ! Perivale Wood has lots of fun, nature-based education activities for all ages.
See perivalewood.org.uk & selbornesociety.org.uk to find out more.

Hannah Bourne-Taylor Totally agree. This is Perivale Wood near me in Ealing - bluebells everywhere!

Discovering that some #bluebells lurking in the #Perivale woods are pink… all quite breathtaking - thanks The Selborne Society - #NaturePhotography #London #Ealing

At this time of year you might see some of our native #newt species moving towards their breeding ponds during an evening walk.

#DYK the wonderfully fancy-looking male #SmoothNewt can move up to 500m to their breeding ponds, or to colonise new ponds in the area?

The #bluebells in Perivale Wood this past weekend.

Noice!

Thanks so much to the The Selborne Society for hosting us

Nestbox view: we think Mama Blue Tit has 8 eggs, so far!
Female Blue Tits can produce one egg a day for around two weeks, meaning they often produce very large clutch sizes.

With spring just around the corner, think about keeping part of your garden wild as plants start to grow and flowers begin to bloom 💚

Last few tickets available for this weekend's Open Day, 20 April! 👇

Earthworms improve soil drainage and quality and provide food for many other species. Good to see them getting some recognition! 👇

Volunteers Ingrid Waloff and David Flack both spotted this Peacock butterfly on the Bridle Path at Perivale Wood last weekend. Peacock butterfly caterpillars rely mainly on nettles as their foodplant, but the adults will visit a variety of flowers.

If the sun comes out for us this weekend, why not head out with the family and see if you can spot a spring butterfly? 🌸🦋
