Biodiversity on Campus
Have a guess about the number of species having their habitat at UEA! A wild guess, maybe. 100? 200? Maybe 1000? Incorrect!
UEA is home to more than 5000 species! Yes! The grassland is rich enough to host many flora which in turn entice many fauna to come and sustain themselves. Have a look on these naughty bunnies playing together.

And here you can have a delight in seeing an awesome otter on the trail. The wildlife trail is divided into four trails to suit different habitats and is looked after by the students and staff of UEA.
Below a young otter dives silently into the water, surfacing seconds later to glide to the reedbed with a fish clamped between its jaws.
Wait! poor otter isn't the only one to blame. This little birdie is also having a delicious delight.
And dogs have the privilege of enjoying in the meadows as well as in the woodland. So take your dogs for a little science stroll at UEA which is heaven for them. How? Well, university allows dogs to come to the library and do some book reading too :)
In 2012, UEA introduced four highland cattle (Delia, Cecily, Chocolate and Cornflower) to graze the grassy land and to maintain the structure and composition of the marsh habitat.
Andrew Bourke at UEA captured this terrific Tree Bumblebee male visiting green alkanet
Another remarkable captured by Andrew Bourke!
The Wagtails are a common sight whether you are going to the library or crossing the square. They are everywhere welcoming with their waging tails. ;)
A pretty pair of Mallard at the lovely Lake on campus.
I can go on posting pictures of these nature's beauty bestowed upon our campus but I can't cover 5000 species, can I? ;)
