Oxford has been named as a conservation hotspot by a new study, ranking as one of the best places in England to see wildlife.
Research by outdoor specialists Millets placed the city third in the country, scoring 9.13 out of 10.
The study looked at factors such as the number of wildlife rescue centres, parks, and sightings of various animal species.
Within a 10km radius of the city, there have been sightings of six amphibian species, 4,508 insect species, and 360 bird species.
There are also four wildlife rescue centres within a 20-mile radius of Oxford.
Watford topped the list of wildlife hotspots in England, while Sheffield took second place.
The study also highlighted Cardiff as the leading conservation area in Wales, and Aberdeen took the top spot in Scotland.
