Marginal nature is found in urban wastelands such as neglected creeks, wastewater treatment ponds, vacant lots, road and rail waysides, brownfields, fencerows, dumps, and alleyways. What emerges in this wastespace is the unintended product of human activity and nature's unflagging expressiveness, which I call Marginal Nature.

A field vole (Microtus agrestis) in an irrigation canal in Almazán, Castilla y León region, Spain.
This image from the Guardian which does a great photo gallery each week of "wildlife" that always includes urban critters in marginal settings like this Spanish vole in a drainage ditch. A rainy spring and a dry and hot summer have resulted in a high population of field voles in the region.
