Sunday, slightly cloudy, we felt like a day out to see what photographs we could get. We had been to Dunham Massey before, but not seen the Fallow Deer that time. We decided to brave the crowds at the start of the school holiday and packed up our gear. Upon passing through the initial gateway we were in luck - all the stags were grouped together eating (I suppose that's what they do on stag parties though!)
We then continued on towards the obelisk where we saw quite a number of blue damselflies mating providing the perfect opportunity of catching them sitting still (which they are rather reluctant to do if you approach them with a big lens).
Further round we saw some Gatekeeper butterflies gathered together enjoying a little sunshine which had come through.
