Bushy Park is a piece of countryside on the edge of the city where the wildlife is flourishing. It exists because about 500 years ago Henry VIII built a royal enclosure to protect his most prized animals - deer. Chris Packham gets close to Britain's largest animal - a red deer stag. They are only 5 or 6 metres from him because they are so habituated to people, seeing cyclists, dog walkers and cars every day. A starling is hitching a ride on a stag's back. It is probably taking flies off the deer and catching insects disturbed by the deer. The antlers are in velvet at the moment, covered in tissue that supplies the growing bone with rich oxygen from the blood. In a few weeks' time, all that outer covering will peel off to reveal the bare bone, ready for the October rut. The stags are so close Chris can take a picture with his mobile phone.
