Red Deer Stag - Cervus elaphus

Canon 800mm - f5.6 for 1/640 @ iso800
Over the Deer Fence which "protects" the gardens of Conaglen House there is an area of land - which also includes a small airstrip - for 2013 a "new" 8 pointer stag holds this ground with 30+ hinds he spends his day making sure they do not slip off into the woodland and defending the hinds from the advances of other stags who come off the hillside.
