Red Deer

[hminx]

Out for a drive this morning in the Scottish highlands when this bunch of mature Red Deer stags ran in front of the car then stood and watched long enough to get off a few shots after a panicky lens change
Still haven't found my lens cap. Their antlers are still at the soft velvet stage and looking closely I could see the flies were giving them hell. I did find their behaviour rather strange and this shot would not have happened back in NZ unless on a deer farm.
