Although Southend doesn't come with exotic animals, there are great places where you can catch local species. 

Capturing wildlife on camera is notoriously tricky, requiring a great deal of patience, but Friars Park is providing a lucky opportunity. 

With hundreds of birds, bugs and more, the part is notoriously known for its lakes. 

Captured by residents, swans and ducks are daily visitors and provide a scenic opportunity for starting-up wildlife photographers.
