Wild Red Deer Stag

Managed to get a heads up on a herd of wild red deer, high up on the moors. As it was the rutting season, this particular male was strutting around, chasing contenders away and keeping his herd in check, while at the same time bellowing for good effect. I made sure I didn't venture too close, just in case it decided to charge. At one point it stared at me with intent, which was the signal I needed to make a retreat.
