birds. Golden Eagles can be seen soaring all
year round, whilst in the autumn wading birds and geese return. | |  | Agriculture and wildlife can work well side by side so
why not explore some great farmland locations.
| |  | - Farms can offer some excellent opportunities for nature
watching from birds of prey to small mammals.
