We did go into the park this afternoon - together with everyone else!! Car parks were packed and, the one or two deer we saw, very sleepy in the very warm afternoon sun.
We'd parked quite a way from the usual ponds area so no pictures of birds today - in fact very few pictures at all.
But the weather - ooooh it was absolutely wonderful. I think we've had better weather during the last few days than we had during the summer!
We came across this Farrow Buck purely by chance; he was so well hidden in the bracken that we nearly missed him altogether! (In fact, being vertically challenged, I had to stand on a grass hummock to even get him in shot).
and this is a Red Deer Stag - again so difficult to see
and finally, a sleepy dragonfly
(as yet I have to identify it but I'm running out of time!)
So at least there was some wildlife albeit not that much.
Bit of a short post today, as I'm "taking it in turns" with my grandson, to use the PC!!!

The dragonfly looks like a Common Darter ( an aged one at that ). They change colour as they come to the end of their short life.
Thanks for the ID Dean. It was very tired and very insipid!! So sad that we won't be seeing them much longer.
