Winter is a time for rest and recovery for much of our wildlife but if you look carefully there is still plenty to enjoy. Look out for migratory birds which specialise in finding food during our mild winters. Winter is also a chance to enjoy the form of deciduous trees and the squirrels that hide in them. Our guide to Great Places to see Winter Wildlife in Cumbria features hills, valleys, woodland and the coast – your choice depending on the weather!
