Wildlife near your school

               

At Hagbourne school we care deeply about our wildlife area and our local wildlife, we have devoted our attention to red kites and cowslips. When you have read about wildlife in England in our partner schools then click the link above to try out our quiz.

If you are a wildlife fan visit http://serenitymusic.com/item--Rain-Dance--raindance.html you can find very relaxing music on this site. anywhere near our school we can see red kites and cowslips which are endangered species. You would find rabbits, hares, moles and other various animals.

These are some of the animals you may find near our school

Red kites have become quite rare in England because everyone thought  of them as vermin and very bad animals because they ruined everything and stole things for nests. the Hagbourne area has been trying to reintroduce these animals into the area and we have been very successful. These animals eat dead things and get rid of dead animals really well but people started to shoot them because of it because they used the dead animals to make animal food        YUK!   Roe dear are very cute. Locally you can see both Roe deer and Muntjac deer.
Male breeding Great Crested Newt  The great crested newt is a beautiful creature. they tend to be localised in their numbers but their numbers are decreasing each year. The great crested newt is quite rare to find but luckily our own swimming pool has been visited by them and we are trying to convert them to our new pond which needs some wildlife. Deers are very famous for getting around without being noticed e.g. deers can get into the corn fields and when the harvesting starts they are in the field hiding from everything.
A Badger Badgers are at the moment endangered creatures as they are treated as vermin. They eat meat and can eat a hedgehog even when its curled up! Badgers are very shy and should not be harmed but people still go into local woods and camouflage themselves and watch them. This is perfectly safe as long as people don't approach them and stay out of their way and don't above all things go to the nest!!!  Herons are quite hard to spot in England but if you do see one they walk into a pond very slowly

Unfortunately some animals are endangered and are very good animals however some people don t respect them and now they are endangered and at Hagbourne we try as hard as we can to keep endangered species from extinction as we have already reintroduced red kites and cowslips back into the area we want to try more and are considering what to do. If you want to see a very moving movie clip go on youtube and type in wildlife or click here - maybe some live in your country.
