Wildlife
What lives here, and how to find it.
What to look for in each season, the species people have recorded so far, and the latest pictures from around Kidbrooke.
What to look for
Every season brings someone new.
The species hunt
62 species recorded so far. Help find the rest.
Every photo of something alive that people share on iNaturalist becomes a record scientists can use. So far only a few dozen species have been recorded in and around the park, which means there are many more waiting to be found. Our goal: 100 by summer 2027.

Kidbrooke, as neighbours see it.

Seen something wild in Kidbrooke?
Send the Keepers your photo of the park's wildlife, plants or seasons. Every photo is checked twice, first automatically and then by a person, before it appears on this page.
- Nature only, with no people's faces, so everyone's privacy is kept, children's especially.
- Keep your distance: never disturb a nest, a den or the reedbeds for a picture.
- Your phone's location and camera details are removed before the photo leaves it.
