Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Canon 600mm f4.5 for 1/2500th @ iso400
A Red Deer Stag chases a hind who has slipped away from his harem. The Stag attempts to cut her off and move her back to the herd.
Despite his best efforts this hind was agile enough to avoid being rounded up and off she went to join another male.
Quite often when the stag is fixed on rounding up one particular hind, other hinds will wander away whilst the stag is distracted.
