We drove further north from Belvoir Castle up to near Knutsford to stay with a friend. We had a great afternoon walking around Tatton Park.
A fallen, but not dead, tree: that "tree" in the centre foreground is actually a side branch growing from the downed trunk. |
There are both Red and Fallow deer in the park; we saw both. I learned that the males and females are called by different terms depending on the species: Red deer are called stags and hinds, whereas Fallow/Roe deer are called bucks and does. ("Doe, a deer, a female [fallow] deer.")
We were careful not to get close enough to disturb the deer as we walked around: we kept further away than the recommended 50m distance. |
