Hello and welcome to the Bushy Park Deer Diary. Its September and Autumn is upon us, the deer in Bushy Park are getting broody and Staggs a little more aggressive. Over the next weeks and months I will be following one herd of deer in Bushy Park to try and document their lives. Bushy Park is a London park just across the road from Hampton Court Palace.
It’s a beautiful place, and for just under 500 years the deer have been managed in Bushy park to make it a natural retreat not far from the city, and for nearly the same amount of time red deer have found themselves wandering around and being unusually close to their 2 legged counterparts.
There currently are around 320 deer in Bushy Park, split up into a number of herds. I will be following just one of them as young make their way to adulthood and the year moves forward to treat them to a full round of seasons.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as me. My Facination started with these Busy Park deer when i went out and got a camera and started taking some shots, ive only been at it a short while but im utterly hooked.
The below posts are just to bring you up to speed on what the herd have been up to since i started on the 1st of September 2009, we'll take a look at the how the deer progress and begining tommorow, i'll attempt to do a day by day account of their activities.
