Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Canon 600mm f4 for 1/160th @ iso400
A lone stag watches other stags and hinds down in the fields off the hill. A short video of two stags can be seen here.
The loser from that encounter which was the stag on the left, then walked up the hill and took on this stag.
By that time the sun had risen enough to touch the hillside so shutter speeds where upto 1/3200th but the stags as they battled where largely obscured by the bracken.
