We're very lucky in Bath. For such a busy, tourist-packed city, it's full of wildlife, if not in the centre, then only a short walk away.
The peregrine falcons of St. John's Church, of course, are city-centre dwellers, sometimes gracing the sky over Widcombe and settling on the weather vane of St. Matthew's Church. We often see one from our back garden. Round the corner, along by the canal, the allotments have been home to a small group of deer. Whether they'll still show up this year, since the felling of a small copse, I don't know. But there are a few around. I did see one strolling down Rosemount Lane in broad daylight as casual as you please.
Along the top, Greenway Lane, round about Devonshire pub closing time is where to see badgers. You might argue that on the way home from the pub is when you're likely to 'see' all sorts of things. But it is where the Lyncombe Vale and the Beechen Cliff badgers rendezvous. Luckily for the Beechen Cliff crowd, at least, they are well away from farm land, so should face no threat from the cull.
