Farming is part of the rhythm of life in Northumberland National Park 🐑 70% of N'land National Park is moorland, where “hefted” sheep 'instinctively' keep to their patch. Passed from ewe to lamb, this long-standing tradition guides them through the seasons. 📸 Daniel Cook

In the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia), Llyn y Dywarchen is steeped in myth. A drifting island once reunited a fairy with her mortal love. Another tale tells of a man taken by the Tylwth Teg for 7 years of dancing. A magical place to explore… but tread carefully 🧚 📸 Paul Jones

With a name as striking as its colours, the elephant hawk-moth is a true spectacle 🦋 Spotted in last year’s South Downs National Park moth survey, look out for them from May to August – fluttering at dusk through gardens, grasslands and woodland edges. 📸 Neil Hulme South Downs National Park

Unusually for owls, the short-eared owl is active during the day! 🦉 At this time of year they can be seen hunting low over moorland for field voles and small birds, performing acrobatic twists and turns. This one was spotted in North York Moors National Park. 📸 Mike Nicolas

Morning! Here's a scene to start your day - dawn light catching in morning mist over the landscape of Cuckmere Haven, South Downs National Park - a nature-friendly patchwork of water meadows, grazing marshes and grasslands around the meandering River Cuckmere. 📸 SDNPA

Britain’s largest butterfly - and one of the rarest - is a natural wonder of the Broads. The British sub-species of swallowtail is found only in this National Park. Seen here feeding on milk parsley (a key food) it is a flutter of gold and black in a landscape shaped by water.

Where the wild things are 🌳 Ennerdale in the Lake District hosts one of the UK's longest-running wild restoration projects. Native species are gradually replacing forestry plantations, and the river Liza has been 'rewiggled' - allowed to choose its own path. 📸 Andrew Locking
