The days are becoming noticeably shorter, with about 20 minutes already trimmed from the earliest sunrises of the summer and sunsets now happening before 9pm.
But with less light doesn't mean there's less to see. Plenty of insects and plants are filling the landscape, and so too are berries. A variety of edible berries are blossoming on the local plants, including some early blueberries.
You can hear Backyard Almanac every Friday at 8:20am on Northland Morning.
