Taken at Knole Park, Kent, UK.
The park is populated by around 350 wild deer today and is managed by Knole Estate. It was originally stocked purely with fallow deer until a herd of Japanese Sika deer were introduced in the 19th century, and the two species now roam the landscape together.
The herd’s ancestors stretch back 500 years and the park is one of very few wild deer parks in England to have survived this long. The park was first enclosed by a fence in 1455 by Thomas Bourchier to indulge the passion for hunting at the time.
Towards the end of March and beginning of April the deer will shed their winter coats and the lighter summer coats come through. The deer start to look messy and untidy when this happens because the new coat comes from underneath and pushes the old one out.
Antler growth is governed by testosterone levels, which is at its lowest when the antler casts (and at its highest during the rut in autumn). The deer have an open sore for a day or two but the velvet soon comes through and the new antlers start to grow.
Calving and fawning happens in June/July and the rut occurs in October/November.

These Fallow Deer wander around the fields where we see the hares. They’ve always been very skittish but I think they might be getting slightly used to us, they seem to be a bit more curious about us now.
Charlecote Park (grid reference SP263564) is a grand 16th century country house, surrounded by its own deer park, on the banks of the River Avon near Wellesbourne, about 4 miles (6 km) east of Stratford-upon-Avon and 5.5 miles (9 km) south of Warwick, Warwickshire, England. It has been administered by the National Trust since 1946 and is open to the public. It is a Grade I listed building.
One of many at Petworth Park in Wesrt Sussex UK. He was guarding his harem from possible younger bucks. There was lots of grunting and the odd rut occured.
The rut is subsiding and the fallow deer bucks look mighty relieved (completely exhausted) and feeding up on chestnuts - no wonder they like this area.
