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...
