Where to begin

Try your garden, a local park or a nearby nature reserve. Regular visits help you learn what lives there.

Close to home

Watch for birds and insects from your garden, balcony or window. In gardens after dark, look for hedgehogs, foxes, bats and amphibians.

For ways to attract wildlife, read our wildlife gardening guide.

Your local area

Explore parks, ponds, hedgerows and patches of long grass. Even ordinary green spaces can support frogs, nesting birds, small mammals, butterflies and hunting kestrels.

A nature reserve

Nature reserves are good places to explore woodland, wetlands and coastal habitats. Check recent sightings before visiting and follow the marked trails.
