Red Deer - Cervus elaphus

Canon 100-400 @ 400mm f5.6 for 1/125th @ iso2000
A stag antlers still in velvet comes off the hillside to feed on the grass at Dalendrien House. One of a number of stags who visited the garden during the time we stayed there. An impressive 12 pointer was in the garden early one morning but too early for photographs nevertheless being the largest of six or seven stags who had spent the night in the garden still an impressive sight.
