The natural world is all around us - just open your eyes and look.

Whether it’s the starlings pecking for sausage roll crumbs on the high street, or a wild plant growing out of a gutter on the roof of a building, each day there are examples of nature that each of us passes by, often without noticing.

From the small but amazing through to the obvious and dramatic, the Fylde Coast is lucky enough to host some jaw-dropping examples of the natural world at it's best.

There are rare birds that get blown off their migratory routes to rest here, and for many this is part of their annual flight path every year. We see huge flocks of geese and starlings, both providing fabulous aerobatic displays, and of course the stunning scenery that changes every day.

In this section you’ll find a mixed bag of things to do with life on the Fylde
Coast. So from the tame seagulls that live hand-in-hand with residents, to a
possible repeat of the majestic sunsets caused by the Icelandic volcano dust
cloud in 2011, this is where they will be.

If you want to share a sighting of something that made your day - however huge an event it is - then please send your photos (jpegs) and stories to share through this section.
