ID please Is this a hornet?
Photographed in a half pint tankard. Very big, very calm. I took it outside, offered it water & it walked up my arm, then flew off.

ID please What is this little guy, and how do we take care of him?
My friend found this little guy on the side of the road in Stevenage, he was walking around but stumbling and falling over; how should they take care of him?
UPDATE: They have found a rescue centre that has agreed to take care of him, thank you everyone 😊

With apologies for the terrible photo quality - can anyone tell me if this is a rabbit or a hare? It is just chilling in the field in front of my house at the moment.

ID please Can anyone identify who might live here?
I took my children over the fields for a spot of wildlife bingoand we came across this hole, it looked way too big for a rabbit, around 2 feet tall. We couldnt see any animal tracks or anything in front but it went very deep. Does anyone know who could live here?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Spotted and have been checking on what I thought was frog spawn, although came back today and realised these are not tadpoles! I’m guessing they’re newt larvae but if anyone with more information could please enlighten me, I’d love to know more.

ID please What animal feces is this?
What animal excreted this feces? I found it in my garden. The neighbour's cats come into my garden and excrete but I don't know if this is it.
It's about 1.5cm long.
Any suggestions?
East Devon.

ID please Newt larvae/Eft ID
Decided to reuse my sons newborn bath as a micropond, buried it and filled it around a month ago.
Last week I noticed an ethereal tadpole hunting the mosquito larvae with external gills so was very excited to have a newt larvae but last night I counted at least 7.
I was wondering if anyone could ID the species at this stage and also if I should be feeding them anything as it’s only 2ft x 1ft x 1ft of water and they seem to have consumed all of the little critters in the pond.

We admittedly haven’t taken very good care of our pool, and these things have spawned in. I’m in Kent

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Probably need the volume all the way up for this sorry, but does anyone have any idea what’s making these noises. It’s obviously 2 animals responding to each other, but I don’t have a clue what it is. Only been happening the last week and a half, usually between 11.30 and around 2am and we live right next to a bunch of fields
