There are lots and lots of animals, birds, fish in the park, as well as people and dogs.
People are asked to respect the animals, the birds, the bees, and all those "invertebrates" who also inhabit the park.
Amazing that a squirrel and a rabbit can be so close to each other. Thanks to Aileen Milne for this photo taken in May 2020. There is a video of each of them - but they were missed by many people who were running or playing with their dogs !
The BTO [The British Trust for Ornithology], have a Garden Birdwatch analyser which is a fanatstic tool to work out what birds you might see in your garden and when. To use it, click here.
To hear what birds are around use Merlin for identfying birds. Click here to see how to install it on your mobile phone.

Salmon - Jumping the waterfall
See Aileen Milne's Facebook video of the waterfall and a salmon [at 44 seconds]...
The species of birds identified using Merlin [in or beside Linn Park except as noted] from 20th June 2025 is as follows:
Note: a "✓" indicates the bird is listed in the "Wild Birds" page and a "✓" in the "River Birds" page, viz there is a photograph taken in Linn Park. So lots of species yet to be photographed, and a few still to be identified using Merlin - and added to the Life List.
Note: Merlin running on the mobile phone belonging to one of the Gents.
