After a brilliant day on Skomer Island earlier in the year with the estimable Andy Davies, we booked a day photographing deer with him in Dinefwr Park, Llandeilo. Sadly, when the day came, it was chucking it down, but that didn’t stop us and we had a brilliant time anyway photographing first within the house (Andy has special permission for this) and then around the grounds.

The deer were skittish, but we still got to see them (perhaps unlike some of the forlorn other visitors). What is good about days with Andy is that you always come away having learned something and somehow having taken pictures of which you’re quite proud, and, despite the weather, it was true again. And by special arrangement, the rain eventually faded and there was a lovely misty sunset to capture.
