Red Deer in Autumn sunshine

 We were lucky to have a couple of hours of beautiful autumn sunshine to enjoy the Red Deer at Bushy on Monday. The herd had two stags - the largest seemed very relaxed and did not seem to object to the presence of a somewhat smaller stag that was still interested in the Hines. A young buck just showing knobs where the antlers will form spent time digging in the bracken and had been wallowing in a mud hole. The oak trees obviously offer tasty morsels for those that can reach up.
