Share your wildlife photos
Have you taken a great wildlife photo in Kearsney Abbey, Russell Gardens, or Bushy Ruff?
We would love to see it!
Each year, Kearsney Parks invites visitors to send us their best photos of the wildlife found across our parks. From birds and butterflies to dragonflies, mammals, and wildflowers, your photographs help celebrate the incredible nature that can be found in these special green spaces.
The competition runs throughout the year, and the winning photographs will be selected towards the end of November. The best images will be featured in the Kearsney Parks Calendar.
How to enter
Simply email your wildlife photographs to:
kearsney.parks@dover.gov.uk
Please include:
- Your name
- The location where the photo was taken (Kearsney Abbey, Russell Gardens or Bushy Ruff)
- A brief description of the wildlife featured in the image (if known)
Please note that images in landscape orientation are a better fit for the calendar.
Important: email file size limit
To help make sure your entry reaches us successfully, please do not send too many large photographs in a single email. Large emails may be rejected by some email systems. We recommend keeping each email below 25MB in total size.
