Fallow Stag, Knowle Park.

**Reynard On Halling Common + Knowle Park 2 Weeks Ago. **

Hoping it was going to stay dry I took a stroll to the river after feeding the horses. Carrots was on the menu today. Again there was nothing different to write home about. Swiftly moving on I thought  I might as well have a quick look on the common. As soon as I got there something caught my eye off to the left, something I rarely see here, a fox. I stood watching it sniffing about, then it laid down. hoping to get a picture of it a gradually moved towards it staying as close to the bushes as possible. I managed to get closer than I expected to, and these are the best shots I manages to get.
 
 
 
 
 

 
KNOWLE PARK:   2 weeks ago Pam and I went to Sevenoaks and while we was there we paid a visit to Knowle Park. We like to go there at least once a year. As we drove up to the house we saw small group of doe's and young near the road, and I thought to myself "This is a good start."
After parking up, and having lunch in cafe I took a walk around looking for the deer, mainly the Fallow Deer. I did see quite a few at a distance, not many close by, that was probably due to a large
group of schoolboys running about all
over the place taking part in what looked like some kind of paper chase. I did manage to take some shots of various deer but none were as good as previous visits, so I am only posting a couple of shots, and some other shots of the house entrance.

  3. Ken ,
    Deer numbers are well down at Knowle , reputedly under a new keeper's regime . I only saw 50/60 animals , without a single Sika , compared to the 5/600 in previous years .
    Have never seen that white stag though .
    As for Pam , what a poser !!
    This is the fifth time I have tried to comment on this post .
