Red Deer Rutting Season

Well it’s that time of year again when the battle of the stags gets underway in the Park.  Already the battle seems to be have won by one contender and he seems to have won a large group of females with no real fight on his hand.  The remaining stags seem to be  haggling over a small group of females and were fighting this afternoon - most images are heavily cropped as the deer are very easily spooked (a large lens is required!) All the videos are taken with a Panasonic FZ100 at 24x optical zoom (600mm in old terms).

This Stag is scent marking and indeed the whole area smells heavily musk….P1050406
