Barn owl The barn owl has suffered a big decline in recent years due to a change in farming practices and loss of traditional nesting sites.
The European otter has successfully returned to the county's waterways following an absence of over 30 years, but they still need our help to ensure their survival.

Brown Long-Eared Bat Main threats to the brown long-eared bat include roost damage during building works, winter hibernation disturbance, chemical timber treatments, floodlighting and now wind turbines.
Great Crested Newt
>Species Champion: Siemens Energy Services
Brown Hare Brown hare populations have been significantly reduced as a result of agricultural intensification and its fortunes very much depend on agricultural policy and farming practices.
The water vole was once in abundance amongst Nottinghamshire's water courses but now habitat loss and predation by the non-native American mink have critically diminished the population.
