Previsit for Deer at Bradgate

 I spent the afternoon at Bradgate Park (Linford Newton area) on Sunday doing a recce for Monday's RPS outing. There was quite a lot of bellowing going on in the wooded area while other stags were either wandering around or resting after a busy morning!. The mist hung around all afternoon giving very understated images in terms of colour and details very much the feel of the place and time.

Bradgate Birds etc

Final few from the Bradgate trip - mainly birds that I enjoyed for various reasons - the Jackdaws intent on removing ticks etc from very patient Fallow deer, pictorial views of Peacock and Pheasant, water-level views of Swans etc.

Bradgate Park Dawn Onwards

Members of the RPS Nature Group met at 7am for a walk at Bradgate on Monday and our early morning start was rewarded with a colourful sunrise and plenty of Red and Fallow deer activity during the day. 

Fungi at Bradgate Park

The star fungi were the Parasols (Macrolepiota procera) but there were plenty of other species, including several Mycenas, Crusts, Puffballs, Milkcap oosing milky drops and Beefsteak Bracket dripping red fluid!!
