I got up at silly o'clock and drove up to postcode KT8 – to Bushy Park to be precise. October is the time to go for the Red Deer rut and people travel from much further afield than I did to catch sight of the spectacles that might unfold. I spoke with photographers who had travelled up that morning from Port Talbot (South Wales) and from the Midlands. Others had travelled from further away and stayed overnight nearby.
The final decision had been taken the day before after I had checked the weather forecast. It looked promising. The day would be dry and sunny, but with early mist and fog. Ideal, really.
