Rural animals create traffic

Country Life has noticed a growing trend in British wildlife causing heavy traffic-not by scampering, trotting or waddling across our highways and byways, but by becoming internet sensations. From live webcams to one-off clips, it seems the world is fascinated by our feathered and furry friends and their eccentric behaviour.

Here are a few of our favourites

One Jack Russell versus 74 balloons

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
