Richmond Park today
A big thanks to Phil H for organising the NPN meeting today, the weather could not have been more perfect, and those bacon butties......

Lots of deer images will follow, but this was a species I really wanted to photograph today - the Rosy Ringed parakeet

Techs - Olympus E-1, E zuiko 300 F2.8 plus 1.4tc (840mm in 35mm land), iso 200, 1.450s at F5 cropped to remove some unsightly branches

Hi Phil,

What is the latest you can see the deer in Richmond Park I may be able to get there one day this week.

Cheers

Ian

Hi Ian,

I believe the park is open till dusk, I tend to be a bit of a morning person, apart from of course this morning :rolleyes:

I guess the latest as far as decent light goes will be around 4.00pm at this time of year..

HTH

Nice capture - I must go back and have a look for these.

Great image with excellent colour. Whenever I go to Richmond they always seem to be high in the trees, but maybe that's because of the car park I choose. Is there a good spot for these (maybe they like bacon too!)?
