A guide to our furry, feathered, and scaly friends around Middleton Beach

Download the guide here

We know a lot of our guests are intrigued by the wonderful wildlife that visits our park and the surrounding area. To help you identify the creatures you see, we've sourced a fantastic local resource just for you!

This handy guide has been created to help you identify animal species commonly found in gardens across southwestern Australia, from Jurien Bay to Esperance - and that includes our beautiful Middleton Beach! The guide focuses on vertebrates (animals with a backbone), covering mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

What the guide includes:

  • A practical resource to help identify local wildlife.
  • Information on species you are likely to see in the local area.

What the guide does not include:

  • Fish, invertebrates, or marine species.
  • A complete list of all animals in the region.

This resource was produced as part of a research project by the University of Western Australia and Perth NRM, aiming to help people understand the benefits of wildlife-friendly gardening. We think it's a great tool for anyone visiting our park to identify the animals you may be lucky enough to see during your stay!
