Red Deer

It is nearly that time of year that I enjoy so much, Autumn is slowly creeping up on us and that means the annual Red Deer rut will be starting soon. The stags have been feeding well all summer whilst growing a new set of antlers in preparation for seeing off other stags after their hinds. With this in mind I took a quick trip to Tatton Park last week to see how the deer were faring ahead of the rut, and they looked magnificent.
