The Hidden SeasonsSpring, summer, autumn, winter: the natural world tells the same familiar story year in, year out. But how well do we really understand the seasons? The sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather all reflect seasonal changes back to us. We all notice the flowers of spring, the longer days of summer and the colours of autumn. But there's so much more. Spring is the time of meteor showers, unique cloud shapes and secret woodland sounds.
