UK Nature and Wildlife Links
See also UK
Nature and Wildlife Organisations: Organisations with a particular specialism
or interest relevant to UK wildlife. For more general conservation organisations
see 'organisations'.
There are separate pages for links about birds,
plants and invertebrates.
British Wildlife
Magazine: the definitive printed magazine about... British Wildlife. It's
very reasonably priced, has beautiful illustrations, is always interesting and
suitable for the non-specialist (usually) so gives a great overview of the field.
What's more, there are hardly any adverts. Strongly recommended. And after what
'Twitcher in the Swamp' said about me I can't be fairer than that!!
Offwell Woodland and Wildlife
Trust: a great site with lots of good species information, good stuff on
British amphibians and reptiles, even interactive wildlife puzzles! Very good
page on rhododendron, its control and its effects.
Fungus.org.uk: the clue's in the name here.
Many links to UK fungus websites.
The Pond Life Project: more about
the project than about ponds as yet, but interesting none the less.
UK Safari: a great website with no end
of wildlife and conservation information about UK wildlife. You can even buy
some really good ID guides. Recommended.
The Country Code
ARKive: audio-visually profiling British
wildlife and the world’s endangered species using film, photographs and
audio recordings. We find this very helpful, and you will too. Lots of good
facts as well as pictures.

When to Watch Wildlife: an
online calender of wildlife to watch out for around Britain.
Red Squirrels: we have these delightful
creatures on the Isle of Wight (where Naturenet is based) and often get asked
about them. They are not the same as American red squirrels, by the way.
Badgerland: claiming, correctly,
to be "the Definitive Guide to Badgers in the United Kingdom".
BioImages Virtual Field Guide (UK):
offers a selection of pictures of mostly British species arranged in the normal
biological classification. If you know a bit about classification it will help!

wildlife, and plenty more.

amazingly, the UK. Plenty of good general deer things including video, sounds
and more.
