Welcome to Wellington School's Springwatch. We are tracking the first appearances of signs of Spring. Getting out into nature is good for your mental and physical health, so keep a look out and submit your sightings using the form at the bottom of the page. It doesn't matter if someone has seen it before!

If you see something that isn't in the list, or have some images or experiences to share, add it to the blog below. If you are a member of the Wellington School Community but aren't in the UK, we'd love to hear from you about what signs of Spring you look out for in your country.
