Did you know foxes are actually born with blue eyes? Or that pigeons feed their chicks a special kind of ‘milk’? Cities and towns are home to far more wildlife than you might think, including exotic animals that have gone wild in the urban jungle. This guide uncovers over 120 animals, plants and other kinds of wildlife – from busy city bumblebees to street-savvy sparrowhawks – that have found ways to thrive amid the hustle and bustle. Find out which creatures have adapted to tough city living, discover the plants that manage to grow in the tiniest pavement cracks, and learn how to turn your own garden or balcony into a wildlife hotspot. Whether you’re heading into town or out for a walk in the local park, never leave home without your RSPB Nature Guide: Urban Wildlife! Inside you’ll find nature spotter tips, fun activities and crafts, and a wildlife checklist so you can tick off every sighting. Written with fascinating facts by Catherine Brereton and illustrated in style by Kate McLelland, this is the ideal companion for urban wildlife-watchers of any age. Published in collaboration with the RSPB, Europe’s largest wildlife conservation charity, it sits alongside three more guides to explore: RSPB Nature Guide: Birds, RSPB Nature Guide: Wildlife, RSPB Nature Guide: Minibeasts and RSPB Nature Guide: Seashore.
