Firstly - I accepted the new blogger settings!!! Wish I hadn't!!! Don't quite now how this is going to turn out!! And I think I've got to get into a new routine of how I post pictures with text in between in picture. Don't know if anyone else has tried this yet?
Decided a trip over to Bushy was needed to check on the impending Red Deer rut. Not a lot happening still although some of the stags were "roaring". There was one very large herd but not obvious yet who was "the main man" :D
This one couldn't even be bothered to stand up and was hidden - but audible - in the bracken.

This little one decided sleeping was better. |
 |
and a Mum and junior gazed around.. |
 |
Another male couldn't be bothered and "roared" whilst lying down |
 |
Two young males were "practising" |
 |
Mum Mallard with two young but growing offspring! |
 |
Male and female Red Crested Pochard having a snooze |

And some Black-headed Gulls are back - an indication that |
I then decided I would head in the general direction of Richmond Park but changed my mind en route and headed over to the London Weltand Centre. I bumped into Pete on arrival and had a quick bite to eat. Events then overtook me and I had to leave for Tesco's and to be home for my daughter and grandson's visit.
The sun wasn't so apparent today!

Have a great week Tricia.

Great set of photos Tricia.
Wonderful pictures of the deer. They look very content.
A very nice and well illustrated visit, Tricia. I liked the 'two young males practising'. I also liked the pretty Song Thrush on the previous post.
I too tried blogger's new editor but found I was happier with the old way and reverted back although I believe we won't have a choice soon.
Great set of photo's Tricia.
The antlers in the bracken! lol, brill.
So good to see the master at work with the flight shots of Black-Headed Gulls. The moult pattern of these juvenile's moulting into first winter Gulls is such a great guide for anybody wishing to see such detail, good teaching aid.
paul.
Must check on my local deer soon. :)
Those Red Crested Pochard always seem to sleep lol
I like the way the psot looks with the new settings, Tricia. But then again, it would have looked equally wonderful with the old ones! I really enjoyed the deer series. And the previous post was excellent as well.
ccheers,
Wilma
Costas - many thanks.. always appreciate your visits
Dean - great to see you here again - I notice you have a new site!
OC - thanks and they did look very relaxed.
Jan - thank and good to see you again. I've reverted back again too but dread when we have no choice. Inserting text between pictures is a nightmare although the picture uploading is much better.
Paul - the Stags sometimes have wonderful bracken/grass headdresses!
The master eh? :D I'm flattered. I don't know about teaching aid.. I'm still trying to learn so perhaps I'd better look at my own pictures more!
Keith - think a check would be worthwhile... they're getting into their stride now.
Wilma - you're always so very kind with your comments. There's some more deer pictures and I'm afraid more are more likely over the next few weeks!
