Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Canon 800mm + 1.4tc (1100mm) f8 for 1/400th @ iso800
High up on the hills on the south side of Strontian a Red Deer stag pants catching it's breath after being chased off by a much bigger stag with a far more impressive set of antlers.
Directly across the loch from this location and at roughly the same height above the loch another mammal is often seen as evening sets in.
The Pine Marten quite a common sight on Ardnamurchan although many of those sightings can be fleeting. Seeing and photographing are often two very different matters.
