Your favourite wildlife place

What is your favourite wildlife place? It can be anywhere, your back garden, local woods or somewhere more famous.

My personal favourite is the fields, woodland and lake a few minutes walk from the back of my house. As they are so close you really feel like you know the area and create a bond with it, and there are some beautiful sights to see.

RE: Your favourite wildlife place

For 11 months of the year my favourite wildlife place is the Peak District in general, but with Miller's Dale as a special favourite with its four spectacular nature reserves. In November though it is the Donna Nook Nature Reserve in north-east Lincolnshire. November is the time when the grey seals haul themselves out onto the beach to pup. It really is an amazing sight (on the day that I visited this year there were over 1,200 seals on the beach), a sight that always brings a tear to my eye and a silent wish to whoever or whatever controls my fate to be allowed to go again next year!

1200 seals must be quite a sight, it's really good to hear that the colony at the reserve is doing so well, seals are struggling in other places around the country.

My favourite place is pretty much the whole of the countryside of Cornwall. I love it there.

Am Derbyshire born/Derbyshire bred, so have gotta be biased, but I aint from Peak District. Am SE Derbyshire and my village in a valley. We got fields, footpaths all around us. I just love to go for walk anywhere around here, but the view from the top of the hill at the back of where I live? On a clear day, you can see Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. My village is part of me, and I'm part of it. Anyone else feel that way?

RE: Your favourite wildlife place

Mine has got to be my river that stretches along the back of my village, hosting fields and various wildlife and birds,i love nothing much than sitting on the bank in the silence and watching the world go by, and this time its really special bringing in all sorts of bird species.

The second has got to be the river Ouse in Thetford where we go on holiday regularly each year, the wildlife, piece and quiet is amazing.

RE: Your favourite wildlife place

one of my favourite wildlife places is Titchwell bird reserve in Nofolk
It is a RSPB reserve and well worth a visit for anyone visiting the area
