Bushy Park is located in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and is the second largest of London's Royal Parks, at 1100 acres in area, after Richmond Park. The park, most of which is open to the public, is immediately north of Hampton Court Palace and Hampton Court Park and is a few minutes' walk from the west side of Kingston Bridge.
In September 2014, Bushy Park was designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest together with Hampton Court Park and Hampton Court Golf Course as Bushy Park and Home Park SSSI. It includes a range of semi-natural habitats such as acid and neutral grassland, scrubland, woodland and wood pasture.
The main purpose of my visit was to photograph the Red Deer and Fallow Deer.
See here for more information on the deer in Bushy Park.
I didn't record all my bird sightings but a single Raven, repeatedly calling from the top of a tree, was notable and Ring-necked Parakeets were very conspicuous.
Here are some photos from my visit ....
