Skelwith Fold to Set up Wildlife Cameras
Cameras will be set up this winter in Skelwith Fold Caravan Park to monitor wildlife while the site is closed.

The Ambleside holiday location, which closed for the season in November, is home to red squirrels, badgers and red deer.

Park director Henry Wild, said that wildlife is encouraged by the site's winter feeding programme, which is based on eight dedicated feeding stations and provides nut, corn and grain.



Henry hopes that the park's motion-activated CCTV cameras will capture scenes of multiple species feeding together. Live footage will be transmitted to the reception building and recordings will be taken day and night.



He said: "It's an amazing spectacle to see a powerful stag alongside a group of diminutive red squirrels, and scores of birds of different types all in one spot. It's sometimes possible to glimpse our wildlife during the rest of the year, but the feeding programme shows just how rich and diverse our guest-list is during the winter!"
