Sefton Park’s ‘urban jungle’ to feature on BBC wildlife show

TV presenter Rani Price tells the ECHO about enjoying nature on our doorsteps

As she sits under the cooling shade of a tree in a busy park, the most obvious ‘wildlife’ are the children who scream and giggle as they run around making the most of the summer sunshine.

But TV presenter Rani Price knows there will be a myriad of creatures around each and every corner.

“As a kid growing up in Liverpool, we were sent outdoors more and we just played out a lot,” she says.

“We probably took a lot of wildlife for granted. I don’t think I realised back then just what, and how much, was around us. I just accepted it.

“But as I got older, I got more and more interested.”
