🦌 Birds and the Belles Meet Up - Deer Rut at Studley Royal 🦌
Join us on Monday 20th October at Studley Royal for an incredible wildlife experience during the red deer rutting season!
October is peak time for the spectacular deer rut, when red deer stags compete for mates with their impressive displays of strength and haunting roars echoing across the landscape. We'll have the opportunity to observe this fascinating natural behaviour while maintaining a safe and respectful distance from these magnificent animals - ours and their wellbeing and safety is our top priority.
📍 Meeting Point: Studley Royal car park enter Studley royal via Studley lane not fountain’s abbey
🕐 Time: 9am
Parking Information:
• FREE for National Trust members (don't forget your membership card!)
• £6 for 4 hours or £9 for the full day for non-members
• IMPORTANT: Bring coins! The car park doesn't accept cards and mobile signal is very poor in the area
Come prepared with binoculars if you have them, wear comfortable walking shoes, and dress warmly for the autumn weather. This promises to be an unforgettable wildlife experience!
Looking forward to seeing you there for this magical time of year ✨
