Dan Belton ( No Badger Cull ) In Memoriam
Fallow Deer Bucks
A bit of a mis-match I know, I just thought it showed the colour variations of fallow deer quite nicely, and the antlers at different ages, even if the referee isn't watching......... I've always found the ( almost ) straight white lines on the deer like the lefthand one quite striking, you don't get many straight lines in nature. Taken at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire.
I dunno about anyone else but it's always seemed to me with fallow deer ( and red deer even more so ) that the big guns stay out of the rut until the later rounds when the smaller ones have sorted out their hierarchy. A bit like the premier league football teams don't join the FA Cup until the third round..........
PS just a word of warning if you go to Bradgate, check yourself for ticks when you get home !
