Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Canon 1120mm f9 for 1/500th @ iso400
Up on the hillside above the village of Strontian the stags in October are challenging each other. This stag has a number of hinds with him.
Down on the lower slopes another stag has just seen off a couple of younger animals chasing them across the lower and more level valley floor.
The stag roars back at this stag who having seen off the younger stags turn his attention to him.
