Wildlife

Visitors to the park and employees alike enjoy watching and feeding the many different birds that inhabit the lakes. In total 47 different species are either permanent or occasional residents. The birds that attract the most attention are the swans, but there are also several species of geese.

The itinerant Canadian geese drop in from time to time and a few pairs have taken up permanent residence. There are numerous ducks including Mallards, Aylesburys and Red Crested Pochards, Coots and Moorhens.

The Lakes

The lakes are stocked with Koi Carp, Golden Orf and Gold Fish, as well as many types of common fish. Local Herons are kept busy with this tempting array, but even so the lakes are farmed by a local company on a regular basis, maintaining a healthy balance in the water.
