And what might you want...

Questioning look in this portrait shot and as previously stated I could not move any further away due to the dry moat behind me. Once the stag was ashore I almost got some beautiful photos in dappled sunlight when it moved further away but some stupid girl saw me taking photos and got up from where she was sitting on a bench and stood in front of the Stag, no more than than a metre maximum from it...We witness this behaviour every year. Last year a man posed with his dog directly next to this stag whilst his wife/ girlfriend took lots of photos using a smart

phone..

Red deer have red-brown fur with a cream rump. The UK’s largest land mammal, a mature male (stag) may stand four feet tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 200kg.

 

Stags develop a large set of antlers that grow with age. Starting with just two points, the antlers steadily develop more branches, reaching up to 16 in most cases. These antlers are shed and regrown every year. Females (hinds) lack antlers and are more lightly built than males.
