Winter is often thought of as a quiet time for wildlife, as creatures hibernate or migrate for the winter but there's still plenty of wildlife to spot if you know where to look.
In their burrows at Croome, badgers are sleeping, squirrels snoozing and hedgehogs are taking a nap, however, there are still plenty of animals scurrying about, keeping busy and warm.
The bird hide, secreted in a quiet spot in the Church Shrubbery, is a great way for families to spend a while watching the birds flocking onto the feeding stations. Winter can be a particularly difficult period for birds so a feast of mixed seeds, peanuts and niger seeds are always greeted with a flurry of feathers.
During the winter months staff give them an extra special treat of cardoon seed heads from the garden.
