Watch It! Wildlife Waking Up Across the UK

Watch It! Wildlife Waking Up Across the UK

Spring is in full bloom, and with it, a burst of life across the UK countryside. As the days get longer and the weather warms up, our native wildlife is making the most of it.

Some animals, like badgers and foxes, are mostly nocturnal, which means they're active when most of us are asleep. Catching a glimpse of them can be tricky, but that's where camera traps come in.

These clever, motion-activated cameras sit hidden in waterproof boxes and snap photos or record videos whenever something moves nearby. Even in the dark!

Scroll down for a sneak peak at the wildlife you rarely get to see. You may be surprised at the range of different species, from birds to badgers and foxes to deer. How many can you identify?

But that's not all! We've also got some adorable photos of lambs born this spring on a conservation farm in Devon. These fluffy new arrivals are already out exploring the hillside, finding their feet and soaking up the sunshine.

Whether it's the secret life of a midnight visitor or the wobbly-legged wonder of a newborn lamb, spring is full of stories waiting to be discovered.

If you've had any wildlife sightings this spring, we'd love to hear about them.
