Happy Flora Day! One of my favourite days of the year! Sadly I can't be there today but here's something I wrote a few years ago . . . cornishbirdblog.com Helston Flora Day: through my eyes - The Cornish Bird

Early start after a late night back from Callington helping Loyal Victoria carry out a 3rd. @ProvCornwall Today is Flora Day in my hometown of Helston, where we celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of summer. A special day.
Helston does it again - another glorious #FloraDay. @RoyalNavy sailors from RNAS Culdrose were delighted to be invited to dance through the streets and join the good people of Helston on their special day #Cornwall

Today is Helston Flora Day and, as has become something of a tradition, I've just seen my first Swifts of the year: four birds scything overhead during the Hal-an-Tow!
