It is National Wildlife Day (March 3) and, to celebrate, we asked our readers to share photographs they took of wildlife in Northamptonshire throughout the year.
The county sees all sorts of beautiful creatures all year round from the buzzards in the skies down to the mice scuttling across the ground.
Take a moment to admire these stunning images captured by Northamptonshire residents on their very own doorsteps.
Maybe they will make you look a little closer on your next daily walk...

This photo - taken by Nicole Trowers - is of 'Nutkins' the squirrel who visits her garden every morning to feast on nuts left out for him!
