Wildlife
Our butterflies and moths are diverse and we strive to maintain the optimal environment for them to thrive in the park with all our restoration work. As we do for all our wildlife. We have identified just a few examples that you can readily see at different times of the year, even as a casual visitor.
We have a colourful range of birds in the park, native and non native. We have profiled some of the most interesting visitors and residents to showcase the variety you can find here through the seasons.
Our beautiful pond is found down at the foot of the main path that runs downhill from Cannizaro House Hotel and just before the gates to the Italian Garden. There is an enchanting variety of insects, ducks and amphibians to be found there at different times of the year, happily enjoying the environment and ecosystem it provides.
Cannizaro Park is a haven for a large variety of the native British animals with the notable exception of the deer family. All of the mammals are generally wary of humans and try to avoid us, the exception being the grey squirrel which seems to love our company both for food and the opportunity to find a nice dry, warm space in the loft. This does not mean to say that the presence of the rest of the animals is not noticed in the park.
