OUTDOOR enthusiasts who have been enjoying BBC2's Winterwatch can now download Colchester's own winter watch lists.
Building on the popular Wild About Colchester activity sheets launched last summer, the Colchester Council’s Countryside and Castle Park Ranger teams have put together some new ‘Big Five’ sheets.
The sheets showcase the area's seasonal highlights and wildlife which can provide residents with some inspiration on their daily walk.
These four new winter watch list activity packs are hoped to encourage children and adults to explore Colchester's parks and green spaces.
Wildlife - can you spot these creatures?
Martin Goss, portfolio holder for waste, environment and transportation, said: “Our countryside teams are usually busy running family activities, but as that is not possible right now, they wanted to bring the great Colchester outdoors to you.
“These fantastic Big Five winter watch lists showcase the best winter wildlife to spot in Colchester and can be done at home or at your nearest park or green outdoor space.
"Our Ranger teams would love to see your photos by sharing them with us on social media using #WildAboutColchester.”
