This brilliant red and white sea slug would make the perfect nudibranch for a Christmas card image or perhaps a football team mascot!

This small, round sea urchin is (unsurprisingly!) green in colour and can be found on rocky shores around the UK.

The dark-blue flowers of Common milkwort pepper our grasslands from May to September. It can also appear in pink and white forms.

The stately grass-of-parnassus displays pretty, white flowers with green stripes. Once widespread, it is now declining as its wetland habitats are disappearing.

Despite its dazzling colouration, this fabulous nudibranch can be easily missed, due to its small size!

This wading bird is mainly a visitor on its spring and autumn migration, though a small number nest in Scotland.

As the name suggests, this beautiful brown butterfly is most common in Scotland, though it can also be seen in northern England.
