Amazing wildlife is closer than you think ...

We have now been working on WildPlaces for just over 3 months and have filmed some amazing images of wildlife in the North East. I hope you have been checking out the footage that WildPlaces has captured so far on FaceBook , YouTube and Flickr - they are brilliant, if I say so myself!! Seriously though, I promise you will be surprised at the huge variety of wildlife that urban areas in the North East have to offer, from badgers crawling under fences to kingfishers diving for stickleback in the Ouseburn and otters stealing koi carp out of garden ponds - all on the cities doorstep! So far we have captured footage of badger, fox, otter, kingfisher, bats, hedgehog, heron, roe deer and rabbit. While all wild animals are rather shy and not always easy to film, I have had particular trouble catching notoriously elusive otters on film. Nevertheless, we are getting some great footage but can always do with your help. If you think that you can do better and have some great pictures or films of wildlife that you would like to share then please get in touch (http://www.urbanwildplaces.co.uk to find out more), we need to share the wonders of North East wildlife with everyone!

I have included a few clips of the footage so far and am looking forward to all your comments and fabulous photos!
