Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Canon 600mm f5 for 1/1000th @ iso400
A stag in the shadows of the copse of oak trees issues a challenge to another stag on the other side of the copse.
Autumn is here, there are plenty of conkers in the long grass having fallen in large numbers during the last few days. The leaves on many of the trees are in autumn colours, red, yellows and orange hues but many are already falling forming a layer across the woodland which the hinds root through in their search for acorns and other autumnal food bonuses.
