Set yourself up for an Attenborough inspired Urban Safari

While best known for nature documentaries featuring wildlife from across the globe, Sir David Attenborough's latest programme, broadcast over the festive season and co-produced by London Wildlife Trust, focused on opportunities to see and enjoy wildlife close to home. — writes Erin McDaid of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. Despite having grown up locally in Leicester, home for Sir David for over 70 years, has been London.

While the programme focussed on wildlife in the capital, most of the species featured can be seen here in Notts – and many parts of the country.

The adaptability of creatures to live alongside us, and changes to how we manage the countryside can often mean urban wildlife watching trips are more rewarding than trips to the countryside. Unless you're visiting a nature reserve with habitats such as wetland, where large numbers of waterfowl might gather, many parts of our rural landscape are surprisingly devoid of wildlife, and those species that do thrive can be elusive.
