One often-overlooked aspect of exercising outdoors, is the wonderful opportunities to observe nature. This, in itself, is therapeutic. Add to that, the all-over exercise of Nordic Walking and you have an ideal exercise regime: invigorating the mind and body at the same time.
Recently, during walks in Bushy Park, some walkers have caught glimpses of new-season deer fawns. But the mothers have been wary of letting groups of people with sticks approach.
However, having walked regularly in Bushy Park, I think I am learning how to observe deer closely without causing them concern. In other words, by approaching the herd carefully, or simply by sitting in their path for a while, the deer will walk by without fear.
These photos show that you can get relatively close to wild animals, if you know a bit about their behaviour and habits.
Animals would not be as relaxed as this if they thought the photographer was a threat.
If you want to see similar sights and improve your fitness, please get in touch. Nordic Walks take place most days of the week, and twice on Saturdays!
I look forward to hearing from you,
