Deer Rut

During the autumn the deer "rut" (breeding season) takes place. The Red stags and Fallow bucks compete for females.

The males roar, bark and clash antlers to fight off rivals and attract as many females as possible.

Do not touch, feed or photograph the deer at close range.

The above was extracted from the Richmond Park website.

 

I shot this deer earlier this morning and put my life in danger to get very close so you my friends can see the colour of their eyes.
