Animal Magic in the Lake District

The Lake District has an amazing variety of animals and birds. Creatures that you never, or rarely, see anywhere else in the country are readily spotted here, as well as farm animals in abundance. Wild animals, such as deer, fell ponies, stoats and red squirrels aren't everywhere, but if you go to the right places, quietly enough and often enough, you will spot them. There are few sweeter sights than a family of white-flashed stoats running in their wiggling, spiralling way across the road, or red squirrels hopping from tree to tree with a tiny red squirrel kitten behind them.

The red squirrel is extinct in most parts of the UK, but they are still at home across much of Cumbria.  You may spot red squirrels in any number of lightly wooded areas, but you are more likely to see them at the registered red squirrel parks – Whinfell Forest, near Penrith; Greystoke Forest, between Penrith and Keswick; Whinlatter Forest, west of Keswick; Thirlmere and Mallerstang, near Kirkby Stephen. All of these parks offer lovely woodland walks and great opportunities for a picnic. There are several holiday cottages in the Lake District which make an ideal base to visit some of these great family day attractions.

Ospreys were once native to much of the UK, but they became extinct in England in 1840 and Scotland in 1916. In 1954 they reappeared in Scotland, and by the 1990s, the occasional pair visited the Lakes in the summer. In 2001, a breeding pair set up home in Dodd Wood, above Bassenthwaite Lake; you may well spot them swooping in the skies as you pass, or you can view the ospreys when they are in their nest from April to August at one of two viewing points in Dodd Wood. There is also an exhibition on the ospreys at the Whinlatter Forest Visitor Centre, and you can sneak a peek online at the webcam on the Osprey Watch website. Staying in Keswick cottages is a good idea if you choose to spot the Osprey's it's only a short distance from Bassenthwaite.

You can see other birds of prey at the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre, at Lowther, near Penrith. They have a large collection of hawks, eagles, falcons and owls and host regular flying demonstrations. There's also a tea room on site.

In the central Lakes is the Predator Experience, near Windermere. Here, you can learn to handle falcons, golden eagles and owls, and take a guided woodland walk to see all types of hawk in their natural habitat. They have other predators, too - take your chance with snakes and tarantulas!

The World Owl Centre is home to the World Owl Trust. Based in the grounds of Muncaster Castle, on the west coast, this is the place to see forty different types of owl from sparrow-sized pigmy owls to enormous eagle owls. There is a ‘Meet the Birds' talk, with feathered friends, every day at 2.30pm between 21st March and 31st October.

You can enjoy the company of a much stranger bird at Eden Ostrich World, at Langwathby, near Penrith. Here you can learn all about ostriches, visit them, and see eggs hatch (at the right time of year, of course). There is also a working farm on site, with rare breed pigs, cows and deer. There's an enjoyable riverside walk and – wait for it - sheep milking. There's also a tea room and a shop. Very popular with small children.

The Lakeland Sheep and Wool Centre, near Cockermouth, is a mecca for all things sheep. Here you can see nineteen different breeds of sheep. They host sheep shearing and sheepdog competitions every year, and you can buy all sorts of sheep-related books and gifts.

Ewe Close Farm, near Wigton is a lowland hill farm and dairy specialising in rare breed pigs, cows and goats. Here you can see new animals being bottle-fed, and goat milking. You can take a pony ride, stroke a donkey, go out on a tractor, look for eggs and explore the woods.

Holme Open Farm, near Sedbergh, is thoroughly geared up for small children. They have sheep, pigs, goats, ducks, kittens and a pony, a picnic area and children's play area with swings and slides.

These days, it's not unusual to see a couple of alpaca in a field full of sheep. I have it on good authority that they are quite fond of sheep, and tend to try to stop them escaping their field… presumably sheep look like smaller, cuter and fluffier versions of alpaca in their eyes. You can check this out for yourself at the Alpaca Centre, at Stainton, near Ullswater.

The South Lakes Wild Animal Park, near Dalton-in-Furness, is closer in style to a conventional zoo, working towards the conservation of some of the rarest animals in the world. The 17-acre site is home to rare tigers, lemurs, wallabies, kangaroos, giraffes, lions, rhinos, penguins, birds of prey and waterfowl.

Trotter's World of Animals, near Bassenthwaite, is a popular wildlife park with llamas, lemurs, wild cats, vultures, eagles, snakes, zebras, bison, red deer, wallabies, highland cattle, rabbits and guinea pigs. Trotter's is a 25-acre site, with falconry displays, animal feeding, pony rides and tractor trips. There's also a children's adventure playground, picnic area, restaurant and shop.

The Lake District Coast Aquarium, at Maryport, is a great place to view all manner of sea creatures. There are native marine and freshwater fish, conger eels, small sharks, octopuses, crabs, cuttlefish, rays and starfish, as well as educational displays and an audio-visual centre.

Another great fishy place is the Lakes Aquarium, near Newby Bridge, at the foot of Windermere. Here, you can see the creatures that inhabit the lakes of the world, from Asia, the Americas and Africa and back home again to Windermere. There is a restaurant and gift shop.

Beyond all the parks and attractions, there's no escaping Cumbria's animal magic. Right now, the fields are chock-full with new lambs. Definitely the place to be for any animal lover.

Please note that some animal attractions, especially working farms, do not accept dogs and opening hours vary considerably throughout the year, so please check before you go. There are plenty of Lake District cottages which are within touching distance of these fantastic days out.

About the Author

I was born and bred in Eskdale and brought up on a working farm. My family where always branching out into new areas which eventually led to the self catering lake district holiday cottage industry. I've followed in those footsteps and enjoy sharing the little hidden gems the Lake District has to offer.

Found a tiny baby millipede in my cockroach tank what do I do?!?

I have a cockroach tank with madagascar hissers and death's heads and found him in the food bowl munching on the apple. I've taken him out and put him in a small exo terra terrarium and it's got a heat mat under half of the tank. I gave him a tiny bit of cork bark, some apple and carrot and cuttlefish bone. I also misted the tank. He's on soil like my cockroaches.

I think he's a giant african black millipede. I got my cockroaches from college and they have two in there. It's tiny about 1 inch long, thin and grey with whitish legs and some black spots down the sides. So my questions are:

How do I look after him?
How long will it take for him to reach full size?
And does it sound like he is an african black millipede or could he be a different species if the description doesn't match?

Thanks
No I will not throw the poor baby in the trash! How dare you be so cruel.

It's pretty hard to tell a juvenile millipede's species because a lot of them tend to look alike, not needing to develop more diverse coloration until they sexually mature. Also, the vast majority of them are fairy dull colors as adults. In order to identify it, I would first find an identification guide for your area to determine if you have any local species. I have found some in my house before which tend to just wander in. The only way I can imagine an exotic species would have gotten in is if it came in with whatever substrate you carted the roaches home in and then latched onto one of them when they were put in.

A standard millipede setup would work fine. Damp soil, fruits and vegetables, maybe a shallow water bowl with a sponge in it.

You would have to identify the species first.

I found this picture of babies: http://www.lotsalegs.tenczar.net/Spirostreptidae/babies-11-17-02.jpg, so it's possible.
