Deer of Autumn 2011 - pictures include Red Deer stags and Fallow Deer

Bushy Park has been the site of some very busy Red Deer stags this autumn. The weather has been dry and not particularly cold although the temperatures on one or two mornings have been low enough for a foggy start. This makes for an unnerving time, listening to the baying of the stags as the dawn begins to break behind a curtain of fog… in other words it is really difficult to work out where these creatures actually are. A high level of caution is required to maintain safety but the draw of that ever elusive picture can have photographers going one step too close to these magnificent animals. As the Red Stags begin to quieten at the end of October so the Fallow deer take over and provide their own spectacle.
