in the summer, I visited the Cotswolds, an area of England near Wales. First, I went to Broadway Tower, Worcestershire, where I spotted my first wild Red Deer. There was a huge crowd watching the herd have their dinner!

Today, I visited Bourton-on-the-Water, a little village situated on the River Windrush. The following photos are extras what I filmed for my channel.

Pleased to have found your blog Kaul. Lovely photographs. If you would like to see huge numbers of red deer and in an urban setting, may I recommend a visit to Brownhills/Chasewater in the West Midlands. There is a huge herd there that is gradually spreading out to the wider area. The school children attending the local schools in Brownhills see the deer on a daily basis. I can also recommend several places nearby for birdwatching including RSPB Sandwell Valley, RPSB Middleton Lakes, Chasewater, Clayhanger Marsh, Stubbers Green (particularly good in the winter for gulls) and Cannock Chase. A most rewarding weekend could be had. Good luck with your birding.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, thank you for your recommendations. I would love to see wildlife in other parts of Britain, such as the West Midlands.
