Red Deer Stag
A trip to Bushy Park, Richmond at the end of September to photograph the start of the Deer Rut. Weather was just about perfect with a fine Misty Morning as the sun rose producing a orange hue to the light.
There were several Red Deer Stags bellowing and gathering up their Hinds.
The Red Deer is the UK's largest Deer. Males have large, branching antlers, increasing in size as they get older. During the autumnal breeding season, known as the Rut, males bellow to proclaim their territory and will fight over the females, sometimes injuring each other with their sharp antlers.
