The British Wildlife Centre is one of my favourite places in the country. It’s like a small zoo focusing solely on British wildlife and everything in it lives in lovely open enclosures with naturalistic environments (the otters have about three lakes to play around in). It’s a fantastic place to visit, especially for people who’ve most likely only ever seen a badger or a fox as a roadside carcass. Here are some photos from yesterday’s trip:

Badger

Buzzard

Eagle owl

Frog (pool frog?)

Harvest mouse (note size of blackberry for comparison)

Otter

Wotta lotta otter

Pine marten (Britain rocks for mustelids)

Red fox
