Curious about what foxes are up to in summer, what deer rutting is in autumn, or what can be seen over the winter months?

Check out the seasonal guides below to discover more about Gloucestershire's wildlife, how you can help, which nature reserves are our top places to visit for that season and more.

If you've spotted something and are looking to ID it, try visiting our species explorer pages or get in touch with us on Twitter.

If you'd like to let us know what you've spotted we'd love to hear from you - you can report your sightings to the Gloucestershire Centre for Environmental Records (GCER). 
We not just looking for records of rarities - sightings of common species are also valuable!
For occasional records, you can email gcer@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk. All we need to know is who recorded it, what the species is, your level of certainty, the date and of course the location.
