How spring weather affects the behaviour of British animals and plants

A variety of native birds display seasonal spring time behaviour. The birds sing to establish territory, build nests, sit on eggs and then feed their newly hatched young. Young animals are seen playing with each other and in the company of their parents. This behaviour is contrasted with human seasonal activity of children on an Easter egg hunt and families walking in woodlands. Plants are shown bursting into leaf and flowering.
