Answer to Kids’ Quiz:
Buzzards eat small mammals, including rabbits, wild mice and voles. Voles, like the one in the picture, are common on the Heath and a favourite food of kestrels and tawny owls as well. Grass snakes prefer to eat amphibians, like frogs, toads and newts (see the newts on the board), but they can also catch small fish in Heath ponds.”
Be a Nature-Friendly Dog Walker
Through no fault of their own, dogs can harm nature on the Heath and reduce its benefits to them and to us. Every season on our nature boards we will share different ways in which you can be a Nature-Friendly Dog Walker. Here are our messages with more detail and helpful tips on nature-friendly dog walking.
Biodiversity and you – make a difference!
