Bushy Park ~15th October~

A great day at Bushy Park today and although the bird life was poor, we had a spectacular show from the Red Deer, which was the purpose for the trip. We arrived at around 7:00 am to ensure we would be able to photograph the deer at sunrise. As for the birds, the usual birds were on the lake, Red Crested Pochards, Egyptian Geese etc. and of course a trip to Bushy Park would not be complete without seeing the large number of Ring Necked Parakeets!! As for the smaller birds we heard Reed Bunting and Skylark and saw 3-4 Wrens. While watching the rutting deer around 10 Redwings flew over, which is only my 2nd record for this Autumn!
