1. Sneaky Squirrels in the Stadswandelpark

Look for them hopping in the tree branches or quickly running on the ground.

2. Dragonflies along the Dommel

Dressed up in metallic blue, dark red or light green, these fast-flying insects are only active during spring and summer.

3. Peregrine Falcons in the Sint-Catharinakerk

The fastest bird on the planet also calls Eindhoven its home. Living their life high above makes them difficult to spot, but luckily we can follow them online: webcams.peregrines.nl/

4. Mushroom mania in the Phillips de Jonge Park

From bright red Fly Amanitas to glazy white Porcelain mushrooms, when autumn comes dozens of species sprout in the city’s forest parks.

5. Birds in our own backyard

Our own house gardens are teeming with wildlife! Plant wild flowers to attract butterflies and set up bird feeders or a nest box to see wild birds up close.
