Deer at Woburn

[mbaldw]

Morning folks,

I've got a week off work next month and am thinking about trying to get some photos of the more exotic deer species to be found in the UK. I'm particularly interested in Chinese Water and Pere David's deer. I was thinking of heading up to Woburn Deer Park to try my luck and wondered if anyone had any experience of trying to find/photograph the deer there?

Cheers,
Marc.

I have you can can get quite close without getting out of the car your not supposed to stop though but you can go round as many times as you like and there are walks through the park so you can get quite close the best time to go is in the rut in Oct.
You can get some close shots from the road too but try not to block the road as some do..

Thanks Kayleigh. It was a walk in the park that I had in mind.

Cheers,
Marc.

Just out of interest, Chinese W/D are quite numerous now along the Waveney Valley on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and especially in the Broads.

Pere Davids can be seen in the deer park at Longleat, too.
