Here's one of the dominant stags at Richmond Park with just a few of his harem. It's rutting season and boy were these guys scary - and noisy.

Very nice contrasting greens, Nigel. And, capturing a family scene makes the shot even more special.

Great post. I'd like to use my telescopic lens on him. The one with the + in the middle. JJ. Great post and narrative. The girls seem to be listening while he lets out another grunt. Very well captured with the camera. Like the colors and backdrop.

Nigel, this is another stunning capture here. I like the haze in the background of this picture, and excellent focusing again. Some nice shades of green too.

Fine capture of the old man barking out orders, LOL. What length lens were you shooting with? Wonderful layers of color and activity.
