Oh deer!

On Sunday we visited Richmond Park for a picnic. We took the long way to get there and also had to make our way through the Duathlon that was being run (and cycled) that day.

Saw heaps of deer. At first we thought that maybe all the people around would scare them off. We saw a few off in the distance while we ate, but weren't sure whether they were deer or goats. They turned out to be deer. And then deer just appeared everywhere. Sorry about the quality of the photos, we didn't bring our camera but took some snapshots using Tam's phone.

A red deer


You can't really tell but there's a herd of deer lazing in the shade under the trees. You can see their antlers moving about between the tree trunks.


We fed some of our carrot sticks to these ones.


A fallow deer. Everyone in the park kept calling them Bambi.
