Clash in the grass
Fallow deer rut in the Phoenix park - The Phoenix park is the largest enclosed city park in Europe and is home to both the president and a wild herd of fallow deer (Dama dama). The president’s head is less well adorned. The deer were imported from England by the Duke of Ormond in the 17th century. Every October the bucks take part in the Rut where they aggressively compete square off each other for mating rights. Here 2 bucks square off in a testosterone-filled exchange and will plough through any grass or earth in their way.
