A Calke(ing) Day Out

I am going to try not to make any deer jokes.

Well a later start than normal, the big advantage with Calke Abbey so nearby.  It is a place that I have heard about, but never visited.  Many thanks to Pippa for organising it and Bill for his guidance (and exceptional eye sight).

The full group made it, so off we go.

After a short walk I fell for the idea of a little macro photography, but soon changed my mind.

Bill certainly knew his stuff about deer, and passed some of this on to us during the tour.  I had taken photographs of deer before but on the other side of the wire whilst working at Castle Donnington.

Below are some of my photographs from the day, which I cannot upload to the pixel guild.
