December 2019 edition: Winter Wildlife
We’ll prove that winter’s great for wildlife, even if everywhere’s frozen over. Red squirrels look for food. Birds are easier to see, and some travel in great flocks. Owls get active. It’s the best time to see red foxes. You can ‘read’ and follow animal tracks. And there’s also still lots of lush greenery about. Honestly! It’s all around you if you know where to look.
Of course, many creatures do hibernate over winter or become completely inactive. From bats and bears to toads and bees, let’s see how they prepare for those long months.
We'll investigate some truly weird winter wildlife. Snow-digging otters! Frogs that freeze solid (and don’t mind)! Birds that hide under stones for winter (it’s easier than migrating). Butterflies that sleep under the snow – and more!
What is the difference between a recurring subscription and one-off subscription?
Recurring subscriptions offer convenient three-monthly, six-monthly and 12-monthly payment plans, which automatically renew. (You can cancel your renewal at any time in your online account.)
One-off gift subscriptions are one-off payments. You can specify the preferred delivery date for a gift subscription, while recurring subscriptions start immediately with the current issue.
When will the first issue of my subscription be despatched?
Recurring subscription: Your first issue is usually despatched within 48 hours. If you place your order between the 20th and 28th of each month, your subscription starts with the next month’s issue, which is shipped at the end of the month.
One-off subscription: Choose the 'Birthday' option to select your preferred 'deliver by' date or choose 'ASAP' to have your first issue despatched within 48 hours.
Christmas gift: Your subscription will start with our December issue. It will be despatched early December in a red envelope marked "OPEN ON 25 DECEMBER".
How often and when will my child receive the magazine?
Eco Kids Planet is published 11 times a year, monthly except for a combined July/August bumper issue. You should expect to receive a new issue at the beginning of each month.
How do I notify you about a change of address?
If you have a recurring subscription, you can update your address online in your customer portal. Click the Manage Subscription link, which is included in any email communication about your order, to access your customer portal.
