Wildlife To Find On The British Coast
If you take one of the many fairly cheap cruises along the British coast line you will have an opportunity to view dozens of species of wildlife and hundreds of panoramic and scenic spots which are definitely photography material. There's something very special about this island, something that has made it worth fighting for since people first settled here long before the coming of the Romans, Saxons and Normans.
The towering cliffs, beaches, and rolling fields along the coasts of England, Scotland and Ireland contain species of animals that are indigent to this island and others that can be found in Europe and America also. Migratory birds often make their homes here at wildlife sanctuaries like Bempton Cliffs and Gibraltar Point, but there are also certain breeds of rabbits, rodents, and reptiles that you can only find here. Every creature serves a purpose in nature and watching these in their natural habitat may give you a new sense of respect and admiration for them.
The marshlands near your home may seem to be an inconvenient nesting spot for mosquitoes, but the wetland along the coast of Britain is home to colourful birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and game birds who've taken up residence on preserved lands where you can see them nesting and breeding. The only shooting allowed at some of these spots is that done with a camera, so bring plenty of film, or make sure you have space on your memory stick.
Along the east coast from Newcastle upon Tyne down to Sunderland and Eastbourne don't be surprised to see a few Muntjac or Roe Deer grazing peacefully among the sheep and goats, their domesticated mammalian cousins. If you're watching from the deck of a cruise ship, don't expect them to look up for you to take a picture, though. If you catch them gazing anywhere it will be inland where any threat may come from, like fox, or stoat, or weasel, all carnivores and all residents of Britain also.
Each of the coasts of Great Britain has a wide variety of land, air, and sea bound creatures who help make this island what she is. The trees, the flowers, the marshes, the forests, and the fields are all filled with life both large and small. They depend upon each other and in many ways we depend upon them to keep the balance of nature. If you have a chance to tour the coastline of England take your time. There is much to see and do and many places to visit.
