There have been sightings of crocodiles in Costessey recently - but there's no need to panic.
People living nearby have seen a transformation in East Hills woods as creatures begin to appear from fallen down trees and deadwood.
Tim Page has been travelling from Eye to Norwich to bring animals and mythical creatures out in the woodland to inspire children and young people to connect to nature.
He has been working in both East Hills woods and Queen's Hills Primary School's community woodland.
The 62-year-old said: “I have been creating sculptures with a chainsaw for 25 years.
“It started when I was doing lots of conservation woodland work where I needed to use a chainsaw, I started playing with it in my own time.
“Soon after that people started getting interested in what I was doing and it turned into my job, I use it to do a lot of outdoor education work.”

Tim ensures that his sculptures help to engage young people and make them enthusiastic about the outdoors.
He said: “I saw how inspired my own kids were by my sculptures and so I decided I wanted to continue to pass that on.”
And now Tim has made some 50 sculptures in the woods at Costessey, with many more yet to come with everything from a giant squid to a hedgehog.

And the work is designed to get kids involved.
He said: “Currently I am doing insects without wings and legs – instead, they have holes, and it is down to the visiting children to find twigs and leaves to put in the hole to give them wings and legs.
“Children are usually so excited by the fact they can climb all over my work – it's like they can’t believe it’s for them.”

What is Tim’s favourite thing to create?
Tim makes things from bugs, frogs, hedgehogs and magical creatures, but with so many things to make, what is his favourite?
He said: “I like to make dragons. No one knows what they look like so I am free to imagine what I think they would have looked like.
“And with fallen trees and branches I feel like I can see dragons.”
Tim likes to look at the shape of the tree and see what creature he feels would like to come out of it.
He continued: “I like to use the shape the tree has provided me with, and I don’t like to take too much out of it – you want it to still have the original tree.
“But for a child, there is nothing like walking around a tree to find two dragons fighting or a dragonfly that you need to find wings for.”
