- Richmond Park is home to an abundance of wildlife, from majestic Red Deer to Stag Beetles. Explore the biodiversity of this incredible ecosystem, and join us as we look for wildlife in Richmond Park.
As the UK’s largest land mammal, red deer are truly majestic creatures. The males, known as stags, develop a large set of antlers that grow with age and are shed and regrown each year, while the females or hinds lack antlers and tend to be smaller.
Red deer certainly leave their mark on the landscape. Nearly all of the trees in the park have a distinctive ‘browse line’ at 1.5 metres above the ground, caused by deer eating all the leaves and twigs that grow below that height. Their constant grazing on grasses, shoots and shrubs prevents saplings from growing, maintaining the largest area of Lowland Acid Grassland in London, hosting much of the park’s diversity.
Thanks Albi for the London Timelapse footage :)

OMG so cool to see you showing us around :) thanks
Bravo. I used to drive a bus around Richmond Park and Bushy, long before you were even born. Makes me a little homesick.
I recommend Bradgate Park as a place worth visiting. There’s lots of wildlife there as well
Thank you for this amazing video. 🙏 I am visiting London and watching this video made me to make sure to go Richmond park before leaving. You have such a calm nice voice and obviously, a deep connection to nature. ❤
I go to Richmond Park every week but I didn't know half this stuff. Excellent video with great editing and lovely shots. Fantastic stuff mate keep it up
Thanks mate :) It’s a lovely park, let me know if you start to notice any more of its wildlife! Try under the many logs and fallen trees, they’re like treasure troves of biodiversity.
I love your content so much.... don't stop please
I will never stop 😉
Wonderful movie!😊 Thank you for sharing!Stay safe!~
Thanks for watching ☺️ you stay safe too
👍👍👍
I have a new Richmond park video.
Check out my new travel vlog channel, please 😉
Thanks
It’s brilliant! I subbed :)
Place is looking beautiful and deers are cute as usual
Great channel!! greetings from Argentina!
Great shots, soothing voice, you will go places bro!
excellent work, sad that the algorithm doesn't push quality content like this.
London has a surprising amount of green spaces! Richmond is an incredible park and it looks like you had an amazing time! The deer make excellent landscape artist 😍 I love when you bring in the importance of trees and fungi, I am biased about the animals but you make it clear the importance that they have on the environment even when they’re decomposing! 💚
It’s my favourite place in the whole city, though I’m hoping to find some less-known spots of natural beauty to visit and document. Know of anywhere? I might do the Wetlands Centre or Kew as well. There’s a surprising amount of wildlife here 💛
Natural World Facts both those are beautiful places! I am also a fan of Hampstead Heath as I lived in North London :)
I’ve never been there, but now I think I definitely will! What kind of wildlife can be found there?
Natural World Facts Bats, hedgehogs, slowworms, foxes, lots of birds and even Muntjac (although I haven’t seen one there!). Definitely worth a visit if you can 😊💚
Sounds perfect!! I can’t wait to go, I’ve never seen a live hedgehog yet!
Keep up the good work
Thanks :) hope you enjoyed
Great video! Very educational!
Thanks :) glad you enjoyed
Nice video, produced to your usual high standard, with excellent footage. I'm afraid I must take issue with your geography though Leo! 😆
You state near the beginning: "At the heart of London, at the very centre of the busy crowds and heavy traffic that worms its way through the city from dawn 'til dusk, there's an unexpected refuge to be found"
Richmond Park is 13km from the middle of London!!! That's over 8 miles! We'll file that one under "Natural World Fables" shall we? 😆😂🤣
Otherwise brilliant 👍😎👍
Thanks, and oops apologies for that one! It’s often said that my emotive language and existential raving gets a bit carried away from other phrasing that might be more accurate, or... arguably, more helpful 😂😂 To be fair though, I live in central London and it was half an hour by tube, so my sense of location is slightly skewed by the modern convenience of public transport! But yes, yes, let’s open the Natural World Fables file 😂😂 I like telling stories, just not when I’ll inevitably claim the ‘Wondrously beauteous depths of the Amazon Rainforest lie within the bustling centre of East Croydon’.
@@NaturalWorldFacts 😆😅😂👍😎👍
Maybe you should be my editor 😂😂😂
It's a fantastic place. Great video 👏
Nice video, Greetings from Italy :)
Heya, hope you enjoyed, glad you’re here :)
Brilliant video Leo! Real top quality :)
Thanks Alex!! Hope you’re well :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts likewise!
What a beautiful video packed with cute animals images in their habitat and knowledgable author, guiding us with such a beautiful background music and a enjoyable narrative..... it is so very lovely to see a young guy with this wisdom and love for nature, very touching and a great example of what youth can do with love and positive mentality ...... awwww bless this wizard boy, Im going to subscribe ! My partner and me love going to Richmond park when is sunny and look for little quiet areas aways from lose dogs and big loud families that leave their rubbish and food on the grass, probably pee and POO in the little stream like in their country aghhhh
so we hide away during weekends in this majestic amazing park... ....we love this place so much ! Thank you for such really beautiful and knowledgable video !!
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Merci beaucoup, j’espére que tu l’as l’aimé!
Nice video . Most of my childhood was spent here with my brother . My brother use to try and catch fish from a pond with his trainer shoes !!! lolzzzz .... we’ve seen green ring neck parrots 🦜 there too in trees .
Aw that’s such a lovely memory. I used to catch fish there too. Newts and all-sorts from the big ponds. Did you ever go hunting under logs for beetles and toads? It takes me back, such a lovely park!
@@NaturalWorldFacts no hunting ! As I was scared of beetles and other creepy crawlies !! lolzzz
That’s understandable! 😂 The deer are beautiful, but they frighten me a little simply due to how strong they are.
@@NaturalWorldFacts yeah .. I know !
💖
Omg please please please do a video on the New Forest!!
DEFINITELY!! I’m very glad you mentioned this, as I’m likely moving to Southampton to study for 3 years starting next month (if I get the grades I need) and will be right next to the New Forest!! Many videos to be filmed there 😉
@@NaturalWorldFacts wait dude you going to Uni of Southampton??? Hope you got the grades you needed!!
I got the grades!! Been here for a few weeks now studying Marine Biology, it's been incredible.
amazing video! I recently went and filmed a video showing the deer rut at Richmond on my channel, using this as the inspiration to visit in the first place. keep it up dude!
There it is, my daily dose of calm. Thanks so much for making and sharing these videos. Yours are some of the most (if not the most) informative documentaries that I have ever seen. Keep up the great work!
funfact: none of the deer in richmond are native the red deer is a diffrent subspecies from the native British red deer which is smaller then the western european red deer of richmond.
Oh wow, didn’t know that. So were they imported, and where from?
Thanks by the way, I always learn something from your comments :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts yeah imported I got the fact from the national Trust
Do you know if the fallow deer are native?
@@NaturalWorldFacts no there native to Eastern Europe but the Romans and the Normans brought them to Britain
The two native deer are the British subspecies of the red deer and the roe deer
I watch ur vids when on my break time and eating. But this vid doesn't match up with what I'm doing 😂😭(i was eating and there's close up worms)
Is it Wild deer?
Greetings from Denmark
Yup, they roam freely and can be very aggressive during the Rut :)
150e like a la video
I went to Richmond park but I didn’t see deer 😢
I thought you were an old woman this entire time aha
