The UK is relatively rich in its variety of habitat types and the species that these support. As the land mass sits in the mild Atlantic-influenced climate it does not suffer from extremes of temperature and has no shortage of rain to wet the land and maintain ground water levels.
Habitats can be groups into the following main categories:
- Arable & Hedgerows
- Grassland
- Heathland
- Mountain & moorland
- Urban, Parks & Gardens
- Rivers & Ponds
- Seashore
- Wetland
- Woodland
