There was a flurry of activity at Salisbury Cathedral this week and plenty of Easter Sunday events elsewhere in Wiltshire.
As the weather warms, photographers have also been out and about capturing the colourful scenes as early spring flowers bloom.
And a famous pair of birds welcomed new chicks, live on a web stream.
Saving from extinction: A six-and-a-half-centimetre snail believed to have been extinct until being re-discovered in Southern Vietnam in 2012 will soon be on show at Longleat. Only 300 giant magnolia snails are left in the world and the safari park now has eight of them.
Paschal candle: A bonfire was lit during the lighting of the candle ceremony outside Salisbury Cathedral for Easter Day. The Paschal candle is a sign of Jesus rising from the dead.
Changeable weather: No surprise for April, the weather has not been consistent. Weather Watcher Carolyn R sent in this picture from the Tidworth area of a misty, mysterious landscape.

Easter surprise: the peregrine falcons that like to use Salisbury Cathedral's nest box have had their chicks hatch. The nest is watched every year with the cathedral providing live feeds on its website.

Heritage in smoke: the debris of a listed World War One-era aircraft hangar is being scooped up as the community wonders what will happen next at the Old Sarum airfield site after a blaze on 17 April. The fire service is still investigating.
