Edible periwinkles are a common sight when rockpooling and can be found in huge numbers on the shore.

Stone curlews are unusual waders with large yellow eyes - perfect for hunting beetles at night.

The bright green ring-necked parakeet is an escapee and our only naturalised parrot; its success is likely due to warmer winters.

This dazzling moss grows in dark places, catching any faint light to glow a golden-green.

This charming little warbler is an increasingly common sight in autumn, when migrants pass through the UK.

Look for the pinky-white flowers of the dog-rose in summer, and its bright red rosehips in autumn. It is a scrambling shrub of hedgerows, woodlands and grasslands.
