Our amazing wildlife photographers have been out across our network of Letts Safari parks throughout the winter so you can enjoy these wild lands from the warm comfort of your home! Here are some of our favourite moments - ‘straight from the park’.


Nuthatches are kind of woodpecker-like, but more agile, perching up on their feet with bodies and tails held well clear. They love broadleaved woodland with large, old trees that are handy for foraging. They can descend head-first and hang upside down beneath twigs and branches.

Layers of fungi form nature’s origami. Food for some - mattress for others!

“Bight me!”

At Letts Safari parks the trees are wild - with linked branches providing an endless mosaic of interconnected canopy above the ground, re-enforced with spiralling, intertwining roots below. They are laced with living organisms and lichen. Home to thousands of organisms.
