25.09.2009 Last night was a fantastic September night in Bushy Park (I’m writing this in the morning due to wanting to stay out as late as possible). The park is both incredibly beautiful and scarily noisy at the moment. The Staggs are wandering around trying for a mate and rutting to prove their place, it’s a fantastic time to watch, and capture. I take most of my photography in the evening due to my work commitments but even then there’s normally enough light in the September sun to make the most of these wonderful creatures.
This is one of the younger stag who’s still allowed in one of the herds. The alpha males are getting very protective of their girls at the moment, its the mating season so who can blame them! Many of the younger stags are keeping their heads down or on permanent guard, hoping that the Alpha doesn’t decide to take a disliking to them.
This Deer is responding the call of the Alpha Stagg, a scary noise that’s like a little nudge to say .. hey I’m in charge round here!! And don’t forget it (human or deer ;-)
