Stag-gered At How Tame...

[Barr1e]

...these deer were when we visited Knole Park Kent on Thursday. We did keep our distance from the stags as the rutting season has just begun. (Stags have been known to gore people to death but not on this estate.)

This is how tame.

Hi Paul -

Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.

Anne and I were out of the house just after four this morning - home for breakfast and out 'til six this evening trying to get a pic or two of the stags locked in battle over the hinds. As we came home empty handed we will have to return another day! (Our local ones are very shy.)

Re: Stag-gered At How Tame...

Is the stag simply upset that he did not get a snack? Good shots Barrie, a pal of mine was in Bushy Park over the weekend and he commented on just how active the stags were, they must be getting interested in girls again!

Cheers

Hi Ellie -

Thanks - the poor beasts must be hoarse just now as the rutting season is well under way.
Thanks for your comments.

Hi CaptainD

Ah, not upset - he was just about to get lunch etc from a group of friends! Lol. Again Anne and I were out in the field yesterday (so as to speak) and got very little in the way of decent shots. I deleted all my work from the day as things were very hot. We kept our distance as the stags were quite agitated. The only keeper was very naughty - the title could have been 'Indecent Exposure'.

Thanks again Chris.
