The start of June is the beginning of our meteorological summer and there are vibrant signs everywhere of nature really coming into its own.

Our camera club have been out and about snapping the first signs of summer in nature.

Hints of summer include young birds fledgling and learning to fly, trees in full leaf and bees and butterflies getting busy.

If you would like to contribute your photography to our Camera Club, you can join the Swindon and Wiltshire Camera Club group on Facebook.
