Red Deer

The red deer rut has been on my radar for a while and I finally committed to giving it a go, and have spent the last two weekends in Richmond Park then Bushy Park in London.

I didn't enjoy the two 5am starts, but Richmond Park delivered. The slight overcast on Saturday gave a lovely diffuse light, then Sunday exploded in to golden fog (and brought out a large swarm of fellow photographers). Bushy Park gave me one nice sunset on the following Sat, and then a downpour on Sunday

Great series of images Paul. Nice and sharp and good clean backgrounds.
The early starts obviously paid off. Well done.
Stuart.

Great stuff Paul

Your 5:00 A.M. starts have paid off very well Paul. Some wonderful images of the Red Deer. Thanks for sharing them.

Great set.

Great set indeed!

Love the last one, looks like he took quite a knock there.

I wonder if it's his blood or someone elses.

# 1 for me. Just outstanding. Great set Paul

Great shots, really like number 5 (the one titled 'stag').

They are all fantastic caps, for sure.
