On June 6th, I returned to Blenheim Palace, as the weather was excellent. I walked the grounds, but there was so much ground to cover that I only covered a section. I will be returning to cover all of the areas.
I started on the right side of the palace from the front and walked towards the bridge, where I saw a greylag geese family on the lake to the right.

and other wildlife
On the left side, I could see the following:
I started to walk around the lake on the left side. I spotted a Swan and a Coot.

Then, the Pheasant and I startled one another but captured this shot.

Walking, I saw a deer across the lake enjoying eating the grass.

I continued on my walk, going through the woods and saw the following.
I didn't know about the artificial bee hive until I talked to the television crew, who pointed it out.
As I continued, I enjoyed the wildlife.
As I got back near the palace, I took the final photo.

I enjoyed the walk and the wildlife and am excited to explore more. I recommend Blenheim, especially if you enjoy walking
