How can you connect with wildlife this winter? ❄️

1. Night sky watching & listening 🌠

Winter nights are a great time to look up and tune into the sounds and movements of wildlife. Listen out for the hoots of owls and swoops of bats!

3. Leave those leaf piles 🍂

Resist tidying up those piles of leaves and twigs that have dropped, as they can provide shelter and hibernation spaces for insects, toads and hedgehogs.
