Tatton Park, Cheshire - 17.10.18
Work in progress.....
Red Deer Stag
I'm sat down amongst the grass with a group of about twenty five hinds guarded by a dominant stage no more than thirty meters away that seem at ease with my presence, I'm watching to see if a unusual shot materialises but eventually have to settle for some head shots of the hinds with some comical expressions as they chew the cud
Quite often you will see Jackdaws clambering all over the backs and head of the deer looking for ticks, beneficial to both parties the Jackdaws get a free meal the deer get a cleaning service. I hoping for that shot where the Jackdaw is perched on the stags antler...but no such luck.
It's not quite cold enough today to consistently get that classic shot where you can see the stags breath as it condenses in the cold air but I was lucky with this shot, may be another visit in a couple of weeks when the temperature and the weather gets a little colder.
It got a bit foggy at one point in the afternoon.
