A single deer stands
Posing, alone in the woods.
Who needs company?
Morning walks in Wollaton Park often bring atmospheric results, and deer in unexpected places. I have yet to see deer in the lake, which they take to quite frequently, but it is always a delight to tuen corner to find a solitary stag hiding in plain sight.
Although I look calm
I’m wilder than I might seem.
So keep your distance.
This is the tail end of the rutting season, a time when the deer are particularly aggressive. But just because they are in an enclosed parkland at Wollaton Park in Nottingham, some people seem to think they are tame pets.
Shall we play a game?
Please, not hide and seek again.
You always find me.
Hiding in the long grass presents a problem for some. This deer is part of a herd in the local Stately home grounds – Wollaton Park. The hall is known for being Wayne Manor in one of the Batman films. The walls around the park are very old and thick, and when the film crew left they managed to knock down a great big chunk of it with one of the trucks. I would like to say it was repaired symapthetically with the old bricks, but that would not be the truth. There is a now a gleaming section of new orange brickwork. Why?
