Close alert

What animals will you encounter?

Our Animal Encounters week kicks off tomorrow and we're aiming to show you some of the weird and wonderful wildlife that lives here which is a bit harder to spot than the ducks and other birds.  Join us and who knows, you might see a stag beetle like this one we found earlier in the week.  Britain's biggest beetle, the males use the horns on their head for pushing and barging each other.  They look fearsome but they're not pincers like crab claws so you won't get nipped!
