Spring is in the air - and displays of daffodils have started to create a sweeping carpet of yellow across the south of England.

The National Trust said its gardens in and around Hampshire were already displaying beautiful spring scenes as thousands of the trumpet-like flowers come into bloom.

Despite the very wet winter, the charity said its gardeners at Mottisfont, The Vyne, Hinton Ampner and Uppark had found displays of the golden flowers were "out in force" and looking to be the "best in years".

Mottisfont senior gardener Tracey Geaves said: "The very mild winter saw blooms starting to appear early, and although we were worried they may be impacted by the months of rain, it seems to be the opposite."

BBC Weather Watchers have also been out capturing the glorious displays - here are some of their snaps from across the south.
