Lots of amazing animals make their home here in Priory Pools and Priory Park. Keep your eyes and ears open, you might just see or hear some of these!
🦇 Bats
When the sun starts to set, look up! Tiny bats called pipistrelles and sometimes noctules swoop overhead catching insects for their dinner.
🦊 Foxes
Foxes live quietly in the park and sometimes come out at dusk. You might spot their pawprints in muddy paths.

These small, shy deer sometimes wander through the trees. They’re usually very quiet, so listen carefully!
🐦 Birds
The park is full of birds big and small! Look out for:
- Robins hopping on the grass
- Blue tits and great tits flitting between branches
- Woodpeckers knocking on tree trunks
- Buzzards circling high in the sky
If you stop and listen, you can hear lots of different bird songs all around you.
🐇 Rabbits
Look near the open grassy areas, those little holes in the ground could be rabbit homes!
