Wildlife photographer Ewan Wilson (age 25) is normally used to exotic animals on his adventures abroad. But due to the coronavirus pandemic causing mass travel restrictions his adventures became a lot more local.

However this became a challenge to find some of the United Kingdoms very own exotic wildlife! Ewan found a variety of wild animals that he never knew called his local patch home. From a variety of strange reptiles and venomous snakes to the fastest animal on earth, the peregrine falcon nesting in the Cardiff clock tower!

The amount of wildlife came to a surprise to the photographer as he never looked at his own home for wildlife adventures.

Total animals found in this compilation: Common Buzzard, Common Coot, British Adder, Peregrine Falcon, Common Toad, Slow Worm (legless Lizard) and Common Lizard
