Today is World Animal Day! 🐝 🦌 🦢

From the tiniest of insects to majestic mammals, we're lucky to host a diverse range of animals that either call the Royal Parks home or drop by for a seasonal visit 🙌

As always, remember to give animals space when visiting the parks and we ask that you please don't touch or feed any wildlife in the parks.
