Winter Nordic Walking

How many points on the antlers?
 The rut has finished, but there have been some interesting stag encounters in Bushy Park recently.  The deer are much more placid now, so closer approaches can be made.
Tree rubbing
 However, in my many hours of watching deer, I had never before seen one marking its territory (if that was what it was doing), by urinating on a small tree, then rubbing itself against the tree!


 The dry weather has continued in the south of the UK, with many dry, sunny days - ideal for Nordic Walking.
A little bird told me.....
Our groups of Nordic Walkers have been exploring the quiet Home Park, adjacent to Hampton Court Palace, and only 5 minutes from the centre of Kingston-upon-Thames.  Yet miles of empty paths....
