- Animals and insects who live in forest and woodland habitats rely on the trees to give them what they need – shelter, food, and protection from other creatures higher up the food chain. They also use the streams and ponds within forests to get water and (if they’re the sort of animal that eats them) fish.

Wildlife is all around us, from sights and sounds to tracks and trails. Discover what's out there all year round with our identification guides. The UK's woodland is home to thousands of species. Find out more about some of the mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians that live in the UK's woods.
Mammals Explore UK mammals and get our tips on how to identify them, where to see them and why they're important.- Birds With declining woodland bird populations, protecting woodland habitats is more important than ever, from the lush canopy to the leaf litter below.
- Reptiles and amphibians Look out for these cold-blooded creatures along woodland edges, glades, ditches and ponds. Woods are ideal for hunting and breeding, while crevices, burrows, logs and leaf litter offer perfect winter shelter.
- Fish With secretive habits and intriguing lifecycles, fish like salmon, trout and lamprey rely on woodland streams and rivers. These shady and fast-flowing watery habitats are a vital part of their survival.
- Butterflies Woodland butterflies are some of the most thrilling and colourful woodland animals. But with a 55% decrease between 1999 and 2015, protecting and increasing their woodland habitats is more important than ever.
- Beetles There are 4,000 recorded species of beetle in Britain, and more than 1,000 live in trees and woodland habitats.
- Bugs Bugs are common woodland residents, with their piercing and sucking mouth parts, which sets them apart from their beetle relatives.

- Centipedes and millipedes Centipedes and millipedes are many-legged recycling machines, often thriving on the woodland floor.
- Crustaceans Woodlice are land-based crustaceans and industrious nutrient recyclers and look under any rock or stump and they'll be there!
- Flies The UK is home to a number of different species of true fly, including craneflies, robber-flies, bee-flies, hoverflies and mosquitoes, as well as the more distantly related caddisflies.
- Other invertebrates Woodland supports thousands, probably millions, of insects and invertebrates that live among the leaves, under bark, in dead wood and on the woodland floor.
- Bats The UK is home to 18 species of bat. The only mammals that can fly, they also sleep upside down, navigate by echolocation and find food and shelter in woods and trees.

Woodland Animals. A pretty bird chirping gracefully on the branches or a little chipmunk burrowing holes underneath trees are some of the most familiar sights one can come across in the sunny woodlands.
