In glorious weather yesterday we headed up to Richmond Park in London to see the Deer and also the Parakeets!! People don't like em, but I enjoy seeing them, although I acknowledge I don't have to live with them!! They are noisy!! Google Maps decided to send us to a gate that was shut, but we eventually arrived at the Sheen Gate Car Park!! We had a very enjoyable wander, amazing that it's so close to central London! Some pictures below!

 |
| The first Deer we ran into was a herd of Fallow Deer, they are remarkably tame, I suppose they are just used to people |
 |
| Plenty of Stags about with impressive Racks |
 |
| Although some of the younger ones are a bit outgunned! |
 |
| We soon found some Red Deer |
 |

| Possibly my favourite portrait of this youngster |
 |
| This was the most impressive Red Deer Stag we found I was quite glad he didn't stand up!! |
Next thing we were in a wood surrounded by the exotic, Parakeets!!
 |
| Margie suggested the Deer that discarded these Antlers must of been huge!😢😏Further evidence of her strange sense of humour, so strange she rarely laughs at my hilarious jokes!!😂 |

Some nice pics of the scenery from Margie!

| Soon found some more Red Deer with a Jackdaw friend |
 |
| Plenty of Jays flying over carrying Acorns, though not this one! |
 |
| The Shard |
 |
| Not many small birds about, though with the throngs of people wandering about it wasn't a surprise, though nice to find a pair of Stonechat catching flies |

All in all a very nice walk around, the Deer are very patient!!!
