Red deer - Acknowledged by BBC SpringWatch
I had originally gone to the moors, just past Lady Canning's Plantation in order to photograph the abundant curlews. However, once I got there, there was extremely thick fog that meant I couldn't seen more than 10 meters ahead of me. Any chance to get a picture of a curlew was mostly gone, but I still spent a long while searching around to try to spot them. The curlews were calling fairly often so each time I would hear a call I would follow it, but it was as though they were always just out of sight due to the fog.
I ended up turning around and heading straight for Lady Canning's, because I have had a lot of luck in the past spotting roe deer there in the past. After wondering around for a while I suddenly saw a pair of huge antlers turn to face me, and then I noticed a herd of red deer, maybe 10 in total. I spent a little while watching them, until they turned around and headed deeper into the dense woodland. It was at this point I practically jogged the to a well trodden pathway that disconnects one set of dense woodland from another, and waited for them to walk through it. Just to my prediction, they did.
