On a potential scorcher of a day, one of the best things to do is simply lie down in a park and listen. It's not just the noise of traffic and the odd aeroplane you will hear, there's also the sound of 10,000 grasshoppers and up in the sky, you might even hear the song of a skylark. Chris Packham gets lucky just six miles from the centre of London when he finds this quintessentially British bird singing. It's not just skylarks you will find in this small park of Bushey, the fallow deer have been protected since Henry the Eighth built a royal enclosure here 500 years ago. Because the deer were protected here, plenty of other wildlife around the area has survived as well. Using an insect scooper Chris can get up close and personal with some of the smaller inhabitants. He finds a Rosel's bush cricket, plenty of grasshoppers and a looper caterpillar.
