Deer in Richmond Park


Within minutes of parking the car, there were the Fallow deer. We were very careful to walk round them so they couldn't smell us and it worked. I got so near it was amazing. I was so in awe, l almost forgot to take images! It is really eerie sometimes, the way a deer will look "straight" at you. Just for a minute, you feel you should slowly back away, then you realise actually you are safe. The reason being it is not the mating/rutting season, so in theory they won't charge you!!

Then just a little further along from the Roe deer, were the Fallow deer (think tht is the right way round!) which l think look like Bambi's!
A little seperated from the groups was this big boy, who watched me where ever l went!
As we walked our way round this herd,we were able to get so close to those wonderful animals and they took no notice of us at all. We are so lucky to be living within walking distence of this Park!
They are just wild enough not to let you get too near but near enough for us to feel privileged. Scattered all round this area are beautiful clumps of grasses and ferns of all colours and shapes.



Then just as we were leaving the Park l saw this beautiful sight.....l love the fact that Nature produces some many shades of brown!
